Every Digital Photographer should have a copy of Kevin's book. This is the book I've been waiting for... Kevin Kubota answers the questions I've been asking about digital workflow for years, his simple straight-forward language makes it easy to understand.

Kevin's willingness to share his artistry & expertise is a rare find; his laid back manner in doing so makes this book well worth the price!

Boot Camp Heaven

Boot Camp has helped me tremendously. I made the switch from film to digital in my photography business 4 months ago. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into, but this book has made the transition successful. I keep it right next to my Mac and use it almost every day. The three most important tools for me in my business...my Canon camera, my Mac computer, and Boot Camp by Kevin Kubota.

Professional all the way

Amateur photography books written by amateurs abound. Rarer is a book about digital photography written on a professional level. Kubota is obviously a master photographer who also is a craftsman with language. Best of all, he knows exactly what other pros need to understand to make the transition to digital photography. This book is truly a step-by-step guide with everything you wanted to understand about the requirements of a successful pro career. Although billed as a "boot camp" this book actually goes into a surprising amount of depth. Recommended.

The Book that Shines on the Shelf! A true Gem!

Excellent - you can tell he gives it his all - tells you all his knowledge and doesn't hold anything back!!! He answers EVERY question you could have about a didgital workflow for your studio right now plus many really great photoshop tips that you will use all the time. In the past 4 months I have been Borders favorite customer buying over 40 books on digital photography and this is a favorite for sure. Many books I have read you can tell the photographer holds back, gives a taste but doesn't cough it all up. Kubota does - buy it!

By a Pro, For Pros

Kevin Kubota was one of the first professional photographers to turn to digital photography. After being asked by other professionals about digital techniques he began Kubota Workshops (www.kubotaworkshops.com) and began teaching the Digital Photography Boot Camp where professional photographers would spend a week learning enough to make the transition to digital. This book is an on paper view of the workshop. It cannot, of course, replace the full week of hands on personally supervised workshop, but it can explain the overall concepts, it can provide a professional to professional view of the digital process and enable the professional photographer to take the expertise he already has to transition to digital. The book covers all aspects digital photography, but for professionals. It doesn't go review all the cameras, it assumes that as a pro you'll have a digital SLR not a point and shoot. And of course the 'digital dark room' he uses is Photoshop. Again this is not a book on Photoshop, but it does show the pro what Photoshop can do to enhance your pictures. By a pro, for a pro.
