Stephen Johnson's Digital Photography Book Honored: Stephen Johnson on Digital Photography Wins Hot One Award
Sebastopol, CA--O'Reilly Media announced today it has won The Professional
Photographer 2007 Hot One Award for "Stephen Johnson on Digital
Photography" ($39.99 US). In the award-winning book, Stephen Johnson, a
master teacher and digital photography pioneer, shares how to use
technology to develop and refine one's expression.
"The 2007 Hot One Award winners can be proud to call themselves the best
the business has to offer," said Jeff Kent, Hot One Editor, Professional
Photographer magazine.
Stephen Johnson, whose stunning photographs grace the permanent
collections of institutions and museums throughout the United States, has
devoted much of his career to challenging technology to help him translate
what he sees into art. Throughout this bestselling book, Johnson provides
details for balancing composition, science, craft, and artistry to produce
beautiful, real-world photos. Above all, the northern Californian
photographer urges readers to trust their personal artistic
sensibilities.
The prestigious Hot One Award honors the photography industry's best new
products for professional application. "Our team of judges chose this
year's crop of winners based on quality, usability, innovation and, in
many cases, value for price. These judges are all working professional
photographers, and their endorsement of these products indicates that the
items work not only on the conceptual level, but on the practical level as
well," added Kent.
For the 2007 Hot One Awards, a team of 15 judges, all of whom are
practicing professional photographers, voted on products that ranged from
picture frames to posing tools. The judges were asked to vote only on
categories that fit within their areas of expertise. By conducting the
judging in this manner, Professional Photographer was able to provide a
premium level of expertise for the judging of each category.
The 2007 Hot One Award winners will be highlighted at Imaging USA in San
Antonio, Texas, January 14 through 17, 2007. There will also be a special
Hot One Awards magazine write-up appearing in the February issue of
Professional Photographer. All winning products will be detailed in that
article. Additional information on the Hot One Awards and the 2007 winners
will appear on Professional Photographer's website: http://www.ppmag.com.
