He tells readers where to place the bride and groom, how to light them, where to place the light, what lens to use and what f-stop, shutter speed and ISO to use.David Ziser has shared his knowledge with tens of thousands of photographers in five languages and in 14 countries worldwide.

5 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Wedding Book   July 24, 2010
CC
I have bought many books on wedding photography over the years and this is by far the best. I like the layout, lots of pictures with easy to understand explanations of why and how he took the shot. He also covers a large variety of topics with up to date information on current products i.e the latest Canon cameras and lenses. Very informative, easy book to read. I have read it several times and constantly refer to it for answers to questions or to see how he handled a situation.


5 out of 5 stars A Must Read!   July 10, 2010
Marlow (USA)
This is one of the ones to have. Some of it I know, but the way the books was done made it interesting and engaging to read. I seriously learned something when I saw how the author applied composition in different ways.

This is an outstanding book, and I highly suggest buying it.



5 out of 5 stars The best photography book I've ever read   July 9, 2010
I, like many others who photograph weddings, look for inspiration and knowledge concerning improving photography technique and outcomes. I have read this book over and over to integrate David's method into my photography and since buying it I have not bought another photography book. David Ziser has been extremely generous in sharing his knowledge and experience in a way that gives clear methodology to achieving consistently beautiful lighting.
I highly recommend David Ziser's Book knowing whoever reads it will be enlightened and inspired.

5 out of 5 stars Wealth of Information   July 9, 2010
T. Miller (Malta, MT USA)
Being in the photography business for years and hesitant in delving into the area of wedding photography, I purchased this book to research the techniques of wedding photography. This book contains a wealth of information on the subject. Not only that, the information spills into everyday portrait photography too.

The author explains each step so vividly. You should have no questions about the techniques and the pictures are clear with captions for reference.

So grab your hi-lighting pen, sit down and continue learning. Well worth your time and money.
