Photographing with Flash is the book by Stefano Tealdi, published by Apogeo. In about 140 pages, all the secrets of shooting with the aid of artificial light are revealed.
As a photography enthusiast, I enjoy observing the debate among professional photographers: shooting without flash or with flash, which is the best method.
Just as there are Canon users and Nikon users, artificial light shooting is also subject to schools of thought. Yes, precisely schools of thought because in the end, a beautiful photo remains so, regardless of the technique adopted.
However, for those who love artificial light,Stefano Tealdi has created an original and very easy-to-consult book: Photographing with Flash. A title that answers any question about the content, which is explored across approximately 140 pages of excellent quality, in a medium format (19.6 x 1 x 25.6 cm). A topic that also relates to the trepidation of some photographers who prefer to shoot without flash (an operation that is not even too easy if performed professionally) rather than make mistakes with artificial light.
A book published by Apogeo that guarantees its quality and is well-suited for anyone who owns a flash, whether it’s shoe-mounted or a flashgun, it doesn’t matter much, and needs to use it professionally. Thanks to the color photos and simple language, the author has delighted in explaining the use of bounce or direct flash and all the useful tools for the backstage. But not only that. The book covers how to understand the communicative power of light; discover the laws that govern reflection; analyze and use ambient light; utilize accessories to modify flash light; apply various lighting styles, including studio setups.
