2 out of 5 stars Only for film photographers   May 19, 2007
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

I got this book hoping for info geared for digital photography, it has none. The book was written when digital photography was just becoming popular. It is good for formal wedding posing ideas, but it gives no technical info for digital photography. All of the info is based on using film.


3 out of 5 stars Overrated   April 29, 2007
I am a beginning photographer but after having reviewed Digital Wedding Photography by Ken Johnson, this book I would say is a distant 3rd. Overall the book is well very simple, well written but low on explaning tecniques. This book dealt with more emphasis on wedding workflow from the dressing room to church and beyond. As a photographer I think we all know that already....I would have been happy if emphasis was put on techniques and tips on how to capture the moment. If this was my first book I may have been impressed with it but sorry folks Ken's book is far more superior in quality overall.

I was hoping for a book that offered some real value - an easy to read, quick to digest volume that provided some real insight. But this is basic content that may be of value to those who have never taken a picture before, most likely using the "professional techniques" verbiage in the title to attract more buyers. It certainly got me!

After several years of photography and being frustrated with the results I was getting I finally decided that maybe I did need to read the manuals that came with the camera. After countless hours of trying to decipher what exactly they were trying to explain to me, it became clear that I needed something a little more "user friendly" that would still provide the necessary information to help me get the results I was looking for. After looking over several books I settled on Professional Techniques for the Wedding Photographer by George Schaub. I am not a wedding photographer by trade, in fact I have to be dragged kicking and screaming to a wedding (including my own). I found this book to be quite interesting as Mr. Schaub went through several lighting techniques that can be used not just for weddings but for all portraits. The book was written in a concise manner giving you the necessary theory behind lighting followed up with a real world example with diagrams of where to set the lights. After reading this book I still hate going to weddings and would rather go to the dentist than sit through a session with the new couple showing their wedding photos. But at least I understand how the photographer got the results they did and how I can recreate them to make me a better photographer.

If for no other reason, buy this book for the amazing wedding photographs by Ken Sklute. Ken is one of the finest wedding photographers in the country and this is a wonderful collection of some of his finest work. There are certainly ideas for EVERY wedding photographer in these pictures.

The author George Schaub has provided an updated rewrite from the orignal edition of this book. He walks you through everything you need to understand to be a working wedding photographer.
