Hello DPP members! Here's the cover of DPP 40. For this issue, we delve into the challenging world of advertising photography. In the Big Feature, learn from professional photographer Benjamin Chan as he gives top advice on shooting real estate for advertising clients.

DPP also covers the exciting side of shooting products for advertisements. For a special feature, G-nie Arambulo, Howard Shooter, and Jonathan Knowles explain the ins and outs of still life photography. Our readers also shared the tabletop images they submitted through the forum.

To continue our one light masterclass series, Ricky Ladia shows the power of one light in food photography.

We also introduce a new and exciting section to our lineup: STORY BEHIND THE STILL, which we kickstart with a shoot of local talent, Sinosikat. The story behind it: the high and unparalleled quality of the medium format Pentax 645D. We have also added a CAREER ADVICE section in our Go Pro section, where top photographers give their best tips on several aspects of the industry.

Expect the magazine to hit the stands by this week. Enjoy!

Definitely a must buy for me! thanks DPP :)

this seems to be a great issue! this would also help out budding photographers, like myself in seeing how the masters do it. how to find the lines? patterns, and perspective. thanks keep it up!

This issue has already been forwarded to our logistics partner and distribution is already on-going. We just posted the cover image later than normal so that by the time you start asking questions, you should already be able to find it in your stores or doorsteps for subscribers.

You will love this issue. There are plenty of Product shot HOW TO's in this issue. You also don't want to miss how Ricky Ladia does it with One Light, as well as Ben Chan's perspective on architecture.

Ricky Ladia FTW!!! :)

It's already available here at SM Valenzuela, Magazine section! Still waiting for my copy from the Delivery guy.=)

waaaaaa. I just checked Booksale SM Valenzuela maybe an hour ago! I didn't thought of looking at the magazine section! waaaa.

I was there around 7:30 pm.

I used to check SM Val Booksale for new issues but it seems that they receive their copies late. It was the release of issue 39 when I first checked the magazine section and was surprised to see some copies displayed. They also have some back issues available. The oldest issue that I found there was issue 33 (Nudes).

Finally got my copy a while ago at Filbar's Sta.Lucia Mall.
Planning to subscribe starting next issue :) are there freebies in store for me?

Have you tried the magazine section inside Landmark Trinoma? I bought my 38th issue there for the 5th anniversary pass last June.:)

Itching to get hold of this issue. Hope there is a copy in Powerplant Mall.

Bought my copy a few minutes ago. There are plenty of copies at CV Magazines at Landmark. :)

Yey! My first subscription copy has arrived! :Grin:

I still haven't got my subscription yet

I am very disappointed at what I got in my mail. I was promised Issue #39 but almost a month has past and still there was no sign of that magazine. I called up again and was promised Issue #39 & #40 but what I got was the lonely planet edition and not the #39 & #40 issue. Can someone please tell me what happen to those promises. I would just like to get the magazine I paid for. I am not mad just disappointed.

I have been looking for this ish since this post came out, the major bookstores near to me that I've gone to still don't have this issue (fullybooked high street, powerbooks greenbelt, natl bookstore greenbelt and glorietta, and some more stores). issue 40 where are you?:Shock:

Hi AJ, sorry for the delay of your magazines. When a new issue comes out, we double check all the subscriptions. The problem here is the courier; and we apologize for that. We already talked about this and we're fixing it. Don't worry. You'll get your magazine. Thanks for the comment, we appreciate it.

i still haven't got my subscription copy of this..

2 of my humble photos (2 out of 3) were chosen and featured in YOURIMAGES, Readers Gallery section (page 51 and 52) of Digital Photographer Philippines issue #40, Architecture and Advertising. These photos were inspired by the teachings of Ricky Ladia, my mentor in Food Photography, who was also featured here in this issue sharing his knowledge in Food Photography and The Power of One Light. It made my day. To David Tong, thanks for your Critiques in my food shots. It made my food shots better.

Thanks Nigel, Nick, Pilar, Angela and DPP team. Thanks for viewing. To God Be The Glory! :)

Hi Nigel, thank you for your reply. I have replied to your pm. Hopefully after this will be easy. :)

I have not received any confirmation that my subscription has been sent. Hopefully this week I get the issues I requested. I have sent Nigel my address and contact number but still no call or even a text message that it has been sent. At least give me a timeline to when I will receive it.

Got a copy from a great mentor last week! Thanks DPP!

Finally Got my copy of DPP #40 on the 11th of November. thanks!

finally got my copy last friday..11.11.11 thanks dpp..

Calling admins of DPP I have not received any of my request for the past weeks,months. I was told that my subscription has been mailed but the magazine I got was the lonely planet magazine and not the issue #38 & #40. If this still continue can you just refund my money and I will just buy from magazine stands. The reason why I subscribed is to lessen the hassle of going to malls or stalls and buy, it has been months and still no magazine. I am very disappointed at DPP's support on my problem.

If your courier is the problem you can just use another courier just for this instance, and not let us wait for our paid subscription until you fix with your own courier

Hello AJ,

I already checked out your problem and did some actions for it. I sent you already the magazines. The problem here is our courier. I will check again this week. Have you received my email? If not, kindly PM me the one you use and your contact number. Sorry again for the delay.

Yeah you sent the magazines but the one I got was the lonely planet one. I haven't received any email from you. I have pm'ed you the info you requested this is the 2nd time I have done this.

Hi Nigel, if I subscribe starting with this issue, when can I expect my copy to be delivered? Delivery address is Ortigas, Pasig. Thanks.

Thank you Nigel for the fast sending of my requested issues. Hope to see the new ones I requested as fast as the last. :) cheers
