All-Star Line-Up of Authors Set to Appear at PhotoPlus International Conference +Expo 2007. To book an author appearance and/or interview, pleas contact Ashley Evens at 201.748.6702.

(PRWEB) October 14, 2007 -- Author and DIY Network Host Erin Manning will be appearing at PhotoPlus International Conference +Expo 2007 (PPE) on behalf of John Wiley & Sons, Inc. October 18-20th in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.

Manning (www.erinmanning.com), host of DIY's The Whole Picture, has authored a new book for Wiley titled portrait and candid photography photo workshop (John Wiley & Sons; $29.99; October 2007). In the book, Manning tells aspiring photographers how to take outstanding photos of people using hundreds of full-color images and step-by-step instructions to inform and inspire.

Manning's book is one in a series of books by Wiley, inspired by Photoworskop.com. Photo Workshop books (http://www.photoworkshop.com/books) are designed to lead readers away from too much reliance on computer editing and back to photography basics--the behind-the-camera skills and techniques that produce great photos right from the start.

Other Photo Workshop stars appearing at the event include industry giant Rick Sammon and Emmy-award-winning editor David Leveen, who teamed up to create Rick Sammon's Canon EOS Digital Rebel Personal Training Photo Workshop DVD (John Wiley & Sons; $19.99; July 2007; http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470180757.html) for the Wiley series.

Kevin Ames, author of Adobe® Photoshop® CS2: The Art of Photographing Women and Digital SLR Photography with Photoshop® CS2 All-in-One For Dummies, will visit the Wiley booth on Thursday, October 18th; Followed by Mikkel Aaland, author of Shooting Digital: Pro Tips for Taking Great Pictures with Your Digital Camera, 2nd Edition, on Friday, October 19th.
