Studio Photography is the first publication I have
ever read that made it worth my time. It’s obviously
written and targeted for the professional photographer. Each month I gain insight into how others in
my peer group are making it all happen.
Studio Photography is the best! The level of
useful information you provide is the best in the
industry. I appreciate how many great articles
you pack into each issue. Special August issue
on marketing was fantastic!

two 10MP Olympus models new for
