I've got a very happy announcement today. DIYP is releasing its first eBook - Home Studio Photography: Your Complete Guide To Building A Photography Studio At Home.

Expands and Compliments DIYP's Lighting Section

Over the last year, one of the questions that I've been asked most is Why isn't there a DIYP book? So I set out and along with the photography discussed; what book would be a great resource for readers that are both into DIY, Photography and Strobism? We thought that it would be a book that shows how a lighting-oriented photographer can setup a complete studio at his or her living room or garage.

Today, I am happy to bring a 6 months effort into conclusion.

Home Studio Photography is a brother read to the lighting section here on the blog. It contains some projects from the blog which have been revised and updated, along with 6 new projects never seen before.

It also gives me pleasant tingles to announce that Home Studio Photography features projects from guest contributors: Nick Wheeler, David Turman, Rui M Leal, Matt Haines, Megan Abshire, Sandra Freeman and Alex Campagna.
