Greetings Digital Photography School Subscribers & welcome to another weekly update.
We've had a great week at DPS this week with the launch of our new design. Thanks to those who've dropped by to give feedback and encouragement - it means a lot! This week we've added some great new tutorials (see below) to the blog and have posted about two interesting new cameras - the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G3 (complete with Wi-Fi) and the Olympus SP-590UZ (pictured - with a 26x zoom).

5 Corporate Style Portrait TipsIn this tutorial we look (with the use of some helpful diagrams) at 5 ways to set up some simple lighting and achieve great portraits - in a more corporate style.
All you need is a camera with a flash and a second flash unit or light source for each of these techniques.
We hope you find these techniques useful.
