Books about Advanced Techniques of Photography
After seeing the basic books for those approaching the world of digital photography, here following a list of books, mostly by the same authors, who treat more advanced topics, such as the strobist technique (the “magical” book by Biver/Fuqua/Hunter), the close-up photography (Peterson), the studio photography (Kelby) or the on-camera flash photography (McNally). Also in this case, for each book there is a quick review, in addition to the link to Amazon’s store and to the digital versions on iTunes and Google Play, if available.

With the usual simplicity that characterizes the books of Scott Kelby, in this volume are explained with practical examples the techniques for photo studio, the correct lighting with advice about the necessary equipment, through to post-production and editing for the finalization of the images.

Taking pictures with all kinds of flash, according to the advices of the great Joe McNally, who takes the reader to the analysis of dozens of images and the way the light was “built” to take them. A careful study on the patterns of illumination of the scene, not to mention the position and power of the flash, the diffusers, until the examination of tools such as triggers for remotely activating the flash.

In “Hot Shoe Diaries” McNally tells how to create images of great evocative power with the simple aid of a Nikon Speedlight, or “hot shoe flashes.” A very useful book to approach to the strobist technique without necessarily be equipped with a professional lighting system.
