How to Take Great Photos – Joe McNally Book Review

After giving myself an early holiday gift of Joe McNally’s new book, Sketching Light, an Illustrated Tour of the Possibilities of Flash, I can say that this is one of the best books for on-location lighting covering both big flash and small.  McNally, a member of the elite group of shooters who works regularly for National Geographic, takes the reader from start to finish on how he created the photos in the book.  He’s included sketches and meta data, production shots, hilarious stories and some insightful musings on being a photographer.  If you’re looking to up your flash game, get some inspiration or just get a better understanding or how a pro creates a photo, this is the book!

(It seems to be on sale as well!, though not sure how long)
