    A  treasure both visual, learning, and story telling
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2008*

This is absolutely one of the best books on photography I have ever read and read and read. The pictures are better than most books on the coffee table. The photography lessons are worth the price alone. But the stories associated with the pictures and 1 line lessons are the true treasures. If you want to try to understand lighting and know that there are no absolute rules then this is the book for you. Originally I thought that this book was a bit expensive, but the quality of the printed photography is only exceeded by the story on the opposite page. Base on 1 line lessons you want to go onto the next pair of pages to read about the story behind that photo. The written style is simple and easy to follow with on page definitions for those photography tech terms needed for understanding the lighting. Simply outstanding. Thanks to Mr.(s) McNally and Scott Kelby for understanding the value of its contents.Amazon shipped mine in a standard carton, but blister wrapped the book inside with cardboard. Thank you; it was raining in Los Angeles the week it was delivered. Yes, one corner was curled. But reading this book as much as I have these past two days quickly curled the other corner.The peachpit.com bonus pdf addendum for registering the book online was not available at the time I wrote this.

    Joe points out specific techniques
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2015*

When I saw this book, I remembered seeing a TV piece of Joe McNally’s work, Faces of Ground Zero-Giant Polaroid Collection. Being an avid photographer it was only natural for me to purchase this paperback book. I have just completed reading this book and I must say the photography secrets that I have gotten are second to none. The writing approach that Joe uses is one of the things that makes me love this book. He will start off with a description of a photo and the history behind it, he then presents a picture that serves as the topic and finally the techniques that went into taking the shot. This includes the challenges you are likely to face when taking this or related shots. The approach resonates with the ‘For Dummies’ approach of teaching although Joe takes it a notch higher with his in-depth analysis of specific photography techniques. There are no topics that are left hanging. Everything that was meant to be covered in the book is dealt with. This is an informative book that will challenge and inspire at the same time. My advice is to have a notebook and a pen handy as you read through. Like I pointed out earlier, this is an inspiring piece and you will get the idea bulbs every so often. After you are done reading you will definitely want to try out some of the tricks. You will appreciate the dynamism that is in each image. Every image should have a story and this book will teach you on how to take pictures that tell self-explanatory stories. Joe’s workshops are worth an arm and a leg and are always packed. Am glad though because for only $35.83 I was able to acquire the expertise of an acclaimed photographer with prestigious honor to back it up! I have to point out that this is not a beginners’ guide to photography. Joe points out specific techniques he used when shooting some of his pictures. It is the story that will let you in on the techniques that he used. I would have loved it if he went easy on the stories and more on the various photography techniques. A single shot can’t explain all the techniques but again the book offers real insights on specific topics and the book is worth it since Joe is a brilliant photojournalist and it counts for a good read.

    More Entertaining than Instructive
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2010*

This is a wonderful book for photographers--well written and totally entertaining. Joe McNally apparently carried around a studio suite of lighting equipment and cameras, and put all that stuff to good use in various locations outside of studios. The proof is in the pictures, and McNally shows each image and tells how it was made. It's fascinating stuff. But for most of us, it's way beyond budget. Perhaps studio photographers can benefit from McNally's tips on gels, reflectors and multiple strobes. But for those who shoot on the street, at events or while hiking the landscape, these equipment-laden methods do not apply. That's not to say there's nothing for the less endowed photographer to learn here. It's just one might expect to find here less extravagant solutions to common problems.
