5 out of 5 stars Small Strobist Must Have   January 4, 2009

If you own a couple of SB-800s (or equivalent) and want to see some real-world examples with diagrams and setup shots, this book is it. Great section on gear too. Really the best all-around small flash book I've seen.

Reading the book is like talking with a professional photographer and getting his advice. The author is very generous, gives specific product recommendations and makes it easy to get started using minimalist lighting. Take this book with you when you shop for gear.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect Book on the Subject   December 17, 2008

If you are interested in Minimalist Lighting, you probably are already a fan of Strobist.com

This book presents that same type of information but with the benefit of a logical, sequential presentation that begins with a history of lighting gear and and rapidly brings you to the present-day use of lightweight, powerful and sophisticated flash units to creatively illuminate your shots. Tuck doesn't shy away from making product recommendations- he assists you in analyzing your needs, openly discusses options, manages your expenses with alternate solutions. Well illustrated and clearly written, this is a perfect how-to guide. You'll look forward to hitting the street with your wheeled studio-in-a case, creating shots that you never thought possible with inexpensive, lightweight gear and the know-how to solve the challenges that await you on each shoot.



5 out of 5 stars Minimalist Lighting: Excellent introduction to strobists.   December 16, 2008
A. Velazquez (Orlando, FL USA)

This book is an excellent introduction into off-camera lighting. Specially for those with a camera flash. A lot of the information for equipment needed and similar lighting tutorials are available from Strobist.com however this book helps in consolidating all of this information into a paperback. I find it to be a valuable source for lighting and excellent companion to the Strobist website.


5 out of 5 stars Great photos!   November 15, 2008
