The Digital Photography Book

by: Scott Kelby
Scott Kelby, the man who changed the "digital darkroom" forever with his groundbreaking, #1 bestselling, award-winning book The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography--how to take pro-quality shots using the same tricks today's top digital pros use (and it's easier than you'd think).

For wedding and environmental portrait photographers who must work in ever-changing lighting scenarios, executing these tips to evade flat, lifeless images with harsh shadows, washed-out skin tones, cavernous black backgrounds, and other unappealing visual characteristics results in not only better images, but happier clients and more sales.

Fine Art Wedding Photography: How to Capture Images with Style for the Modern Bride

by: Jose Villa, Jeff Kent
Many semi-pro and professional wedding photographers are looking to "wake up" their style, stay current, and stimulate business.
