A Step-by-Step Guide for Professional Weding and Portrait Photographers

This intensive volume is designed to give professional photographers of all skill levels a veritable "big picture" look at the working digital studio. Kubota takes you from start to finish—from setting up your camera to ensure the best-possible capture, to taking the image, to managing color for predictable results and reduced headaches, to organizing your images, to enhancing them using the latest software tools, and finally to printing and presenting the images to your clients. Step-by-step instructions and ample screen shots ensure that each procedure is easy to follow.

With the same lighthearted, upbeat approach that makes Kubota's workshops a big success, this book offers indispensible information, plus a hefty dose of inspiration.
