When my editor gave me the final approval (it was more like, "Okay, but this better be good or we'll both be greeting people by saying, 'Would you like to try one of our Extra Value Meals today?'"), I sat down with two of the industry's top digital photographerscommercial product photographer Jim DiVitale and fashion photographer Kevin Amesto get their input on the book. These two guys are amazingthey both split their time between shooting for some of the world's largest corporations, and teaching other professional digital photographers how to pull off Photoshop miracles at events such as Photoshop World, PPA/PEI's Digital Conference, and a host of other events around the world. We spent hours hammering out which techniques would have to be included in the book, and I can't tell you how helpful and insightful their input was, and this book is far better than it would have been thanks to their contributions. |
