Hey gang!

I am very excited to announce that my new book, Softbox Lighting Techniques for Professional Photographers has been released!


My friends at SSU and Rangefinder seem to like it:

NEW DIGITAL LIGHTING BOOK
GETS RAVES FROM SHOOTSMARTER UNIVERSITY
Photographer, author and good friend of ShootSmarter.com Stephen Dantzig has just released his third book titled "Softbox Lighting Techniques for Professional Photographers" and is right on target if you need some help with portrait lighting setup and control.

This book is chocked full of great lighting tips, tricks and diagrams for beginner to intermediate pros & emerging pros. It also covers many alternative uses for creating great looking portraits using a Softbox which we think is vital to digital photography.

Professionals and non-pros alike will all find something of use in Steve's new book and we think the info on "Combining Light Sources" in chapter 4 (page 72) is some of the best we've seen on this topic. To order signed copies of the first printing of this "must read" book, please visit Steve's website at www.dantzigphotography.com or if you want to save a couple bucks and don't need a signed copy, you can order it directly from Amazon.com.
This book is absolutely terrific! - Will Crockett

Stephen Dantzig's Softbox Lighting Techniques will make a valuable addition to any working pro's technical library. Of key interest are the sections on how varying surfaces and size, as well as reflectivity of the individual softboxes or their components can drastically affect the quality and volume of the light. Dantzig has done his research and used excellent photographs to illustrate his points.

I am going to the US on August 1st, will pass the local Barnes & Noble and get a copy. Looking forward to learn more!

Thanks Michael!

I ADORE this book! Just finished reading it, and just as the other books Steve has written, it's a very informative, interesting read with the most creative ways to use tools in the studio. Being a self-proclaimed "softbox addict," I learned new ways to use the trusty 'ol boxes that I never would've thought of on my own. I highly recommend it to anyone who uses softboxes (or to convince them that they should!)

Thanks Teresa!

Picked up the book today and will be going over it the next couple of days. I am using softboxes for my work and if it is like the rest of your books I am sure it will be informative. I'll post again when I finish it.
