THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER'S
PERFECT STORM
FREE upon request
Henry Oles, President and Founder of Virtual Backgrounds, has just released this very powerful book called The Professional Photographer's Perfect Storm. This new 73 page book covers a wide variety of potentially catastrophic issues that face professional photographers today. Many photographers are thinking about these issues, but until now, no one has formally presented them from the platform or in print.
The primary concern is the effect millions of amateurs (who have digital cameras equal to or better than those used by professional studio photographers) will have on the future of professional photography. As professional photography moves more and more into producing candid or photojournalistic portraiture and weddings, our end products come closer and closer to that which can be produced by the amateur. The Professional Photographer’s Perfect Storm not only reviews the problem but also presents a variety of ways professional photographers can effectively deal with the “storm.”
The Professional Photographer’s Perfect Storm is available without charge from Virtual Backgrounds. Contact us today to receive your free copy!

TOUCH OF WARMTH REFLECTORS
The Touch of Warmth Reflector was developed by "Big Daddy" Don Blair. These reflectors are a combination of silver and pink squares on one side and black on the reverse side. This combination produces a warm, pleasing skin tone versus the golden cast of gold reflectors or the cool look of the plain silver reflectors. The black side can be used for light subtraction. All reflectors are collapsible and come with a convenient travel pouch. They come in three sizes: 32" round, 42" round and 42" x 72" oval. Reflectors are sold individually or in kits (with arms and stands).

VARIABLE LIGHT GOBOS
Light control is fundamental to creating the ultimate portrait. The Variable Light Gobo (VLG) manufactured by Virtual Backgrounds enables the portrait photographer to achieve ultra fine control over the distribution of light coming from a soft box, parabolic reflector, or umbrella. It provides far more control than simply “feathering” the light or by using traditional barn doors.
The Variable Light Gobo comes in two sizes, 24” x 16” and 32” x 18”. Each VLG comes with three panels of light control material that attaches to the frame with Velcro. The photographer can easily choose the number of layers and the amount of overlap in order to get the exact amount of light control needed. With a VLG, the photographer can concentrate the light exactly where it is needed and then gradually reduce the intensity on other parts of the subject.
