Think of this timely session as Digital Photography for Graphic Designers 101. A chance to get a solid grounding in this powerful medium—from assigning and directing shoots to managing the production process. All from digital photography expert Judy Herrmann, whose work you've seen in HOW's International Design Annuals.

Judy has packed this session with answers to the myriad questions designers ask as they make the transition from film-based to digital photos. She'll explain:

•how to evaluate digital studios effectively
•how to get the most out of a shoot—creatively, financially and technically—
•when to use digital capture, and when it's best to stick with film—
•how to ensure that the resulting files live up to your client's expectations

"Using examples of thier own work, Judy and Michael will discuss the pros and cons of digital photography from both the photographer's and the buyer's point of view. they will be prepared to discuss issues such as the capabilities and limitations of the current digital technologies, costs and benifits of the technology, pre-press, calibration and liability issues, After a brief slide show of their work, the floor will be open to questions, so please feel free to raise any topics that you would like to hear about."
