How to use one flash and be happy!
By Jose Antunes
Books are a bit like people. You always learn a few different things with different people. The same happens with most books - and modernly also with eBooks, in whichever format they take. That's what I feel towards this book/eBook by Tilo Gockel. It gives you some new points of view concerning the use of flash, here reduced to its simplest expression: one light!
The theme of flash photography is not new to me. My collection of books on flash includes everything, from authors as Syl Arena to Joe McNally or less popular names from which I still learned a few tricks and essential tips. While I like them all and have learned a lot, I never refuse the experiences a new book offers me, sometimes unexpected challenges that will take my flash photography to a new level. This said, I will never dream of doing something as Joe McNally, which can use 40 flashes for a single shoot, so I prefer simple solutions, those provided by McNally and people like Syl Arena. That's where this book comes in: it preaches about one flash photography, something I really appreciate, as that's something I also preach on my workshops and photographic tour, where people usually will not carry a whole bank of lights but still want to get their pictures with the right amount of light. Some might find it is limiting, but I feel it is challenging, and great results can still be achieved, as Tilo Gockel shows in this book.
The title of the book attracted me because there is a challenge there, and also an important truth that many forget: making things simple enough so that even an amateur with a single flash can enjoy the discovering process of photography. In a world where so much about photography is presented as overly complex, or just as an automatic "correct it in post" thing, it is good to find books that show you there is a middle way, where understanding the technique is essential, but where you do not need to break the bank or take a degree to get professional results.
Through the "workshops" in the book Tilo Gockel teaches a lot of flash photography and photography in general. Not all of the lessons will appeal to all people, but there is plenty of choice and there is also a thing to remember: the setup for one specific subject can many times be adapted to other situations. The possibilities are infinite if you dare to try and expand on the knowledge available on these pages.
If you're curious about flash photography, there are many other books you can buy and I do advise you to do it. But whatever you do, buy this book, as it will both amuse you and challenge you. Some of the solutions provided are so "easy" that you'll soon find that, with Tilo Gockel as teacher, you've made a huge leap forward in your flash photography. Buy "One Flash" and read it from cover to cover, practicing each lesson as you go. And as we're around Christmas, consider this as the best gift you can give yourself so 2016 starts with you being better at using a single flash to enhance your visions of the world.

Adventures in Speedlight Photography
By Robert G. West
Tilo Gockel’s One Flash is a terrific book that will guide you through the use of a single flash unit to light a variety of subjects. The book begins with 3 brief mini-chapters that provide an overview of the use of flash, specific techniques for understanding flash, and a look at gear.
Gockel introduces the concept of utilizing a single flash with an effective analogy- the sun is generally the sole light in outdoor shooting, and it provides amazing variations of light. Can a single speedlight provide the photographer a similar, versatile source? Suppressing ambient light by exposing the subject before firing the flash starts the process- this will assure that ambient light is not affecting the flash exposure. The Aesthetics of Lighting section is especially interesting as it addresses proper light placement to shadows to define shape. The chapter also includes a superb 2-page description of portrait lighting patterns that are rarely described with eloquence and brevity. In describing gear, Gockel states “buy less, shoot more.” In a time where gear-envy and the daily onslaught of emails and web sites announcing the “new and improved” products, this is a refreshing change.
Gockel’s style of shooting is fairly consistent- take an initial shot without flash to establish the background exposure settings (usually -1EV) and then add the flash, attaining the desired main light via trial-and-error, metering, TTL or calculation with GN.
Bounce flash is well described, and Gockel quickly demonstrates the benefit of shooting in raw so as to be able to correct for color casts inevitable when bouncing light.
What follows the opening section are 3 chapters covering different photographic subjects (People, Objects, Food & Drink).
In People, ten “workshops” are presented. If you imagine taking a class on single flash photography, each workshop would be a different assignment that challenges you to try using flash in a different way. Whether it’s creating an evening scene in broad daylight or shooting through material to create shadow-patterns on subjects, the workshops are challenging and open-ended enough to allow for diverse projects on a single theme.
In addition to discussing flash techniques, Gockel presents excellent advice on generating the best bokeh with aperture settings. Equipment beyond the camera and flash are commonly discussed, but he is considerate of the reader’s budget, suggesting alternate approaches to the sometimes pricey gadgets.
Post production plays an important role of many of Gockel’s final people images, and while he does not discuss his post work in great detail, general descriptions of his processes are helpful to those who want to go the extra distance in perfecting their images. While many of the People images are excellent, some definitely display the limitation of using a single light source as high contrast differences on the sides of the face can be detracting (or stylistic, depending on your POV).
Part 2 examines photographing objects. Some of this becomes very complex, such as the need to focus-stack images that are small (jewelry) to capture the required DOF. Here the lighting takes a back seat to the post production in many of the workshops. The workarounds for having a single flash also become more complex, as light painting small objects becomes an art unto itself as you attempt to capture the subject in the best artificial light. Creativity in lighting is key to photographing inanimate objects, and Gockel’s descriptions of his experiments with circuit boards is fascinating and, well, illuminating.
Part 3 is similar to 2, but specifically addresses the challenges of photographing food and drink. Most interesting are the many tricks used for this type of photography- like pre-treating beer bottles to retain water droplets for longer periods of time. As in chapter 2, back lighting again plays a major role in photographing inanimate objects, especially those that are translucent.
Part 4 is brief and describes stroboscopic effects, using an on-camera flash as a bounce flash using a mirror, and an ill-advised DIY merger of two flash tubes into something of a single unit- that should be for the electrically-qualified only!
This is a great book, especially for someone familiar with and comfortable with their speedlight and interested in exploring creative utilization of their tools. There are a few nuances- the author is from Germany and will occasionally reference gear that is not to be found in the US. And despite the fact that mirrorlesss cameras have become more popular, the book is solely Nikon/Canon referenced. Despite these minor issues, this book will challenge most photographers to grow and become more competent in their creative use of single flash photography.
