Today I’m excited to announce that the winner of that competition is…

The post The Winner of our Posing eBook Prize Is… by Darren Rowse appeared first on Digital Photography School.
Just over a month ago we launched our brand new eBook – Portraits: Lighting the Shot – an eBook about Lighting Portraits (as the name suggests).
The 25% off Early Bird special and bonus competition end in just over 72 hours time.
When we launched this eBook we knew it was on a topic we get a lot of questions about but we didn’t realise just how much positive feedback we’d get about it.
“If you want to limit yourself to only ever shooting natural light portraits, be my guest. If you want to level-up your portrait photography skills by learning how to light your subjects well, you can’t go past this book!” – Rowan Sims
“It is amazing! If you are a portrait photographer this book is a must. I read this for the first time on Friday, and was able to put what I learned into practice at a wedding I shot the following Sunday. You don’t want to miss this one.” – photographytipshq.com
“My overall opinion of this book is that it is very worth it. If you already have some experience in portrait photography, and want to take it to the next level by introducing lighting. You will learn a lot from this very experienced professional.” – Pedro Mendes
That’s just scratching the surface of the lovely things we’ve heard about Portraits: Lighting the Shot.
Order a copy of Portraits: Lighting The Shot before the 4th of October EST and you could win a Beautiful Retrospective 7 Bag and $ 1000 to spend on lighting and lenses!
The winner will receive a Retrospective® 7 (Pinestone) (worth $ 162) from ThinkTankPhoto. Plus you can choose lighting or a combination of lenses or to suit your needs up to the value of $ 1000 USD (after reading the eBook you’ll have a good idea of what you need).
We’ll draw and notify the winner on the 5th of October and then publish their name here on the dPS blog. If the winner doesn’t respond within 7 days we’ll draw another winner and publish their name on the blog.
