My "Stairwell" image will be appearing in Popular Photography magazines new book titled, "How to Photograph Everything". It will be a gorgeous, full-color book that demystifies the image-making techniques behind dazzling photographs of all kinds. The book’s goal is to provide readers with everything they need to know to capture the 40+ subjects that everyone wants in their portfolio—along with inpirational imagery and inspiring stories of how great photographers got their own shots. The book is being released by Weldon Publishing in November of 2014.
