Strobist Reviews Secrets of Great Portrait Photography

“Smith’s approach is rather like a cookbook in that it will spur many ideas of your own. His unselfish approach makes this book a core choice for any location portrait photographer’s bookshelf.”
–David Hobby / Strobist

 
HUGE THANKS to David Hobby at Strobist for his fantastic review of ‘Secrets of Great Portrait Photography’.Hobby goes straight to the essence of the book when he calls it an “internship in a bottle.” Because that’s just what I set out to do – share what I’ve learned over the last 25 years in a book that I wish someone handed me when I was just starting out…

“Looking for a good book to curl up with this winter? You’re in luck,” says Hobby. “This book is dynamite – chock full of valuable info and experience.”
