Metal Photographer STEPHEN JENSEN Releases New Photo Book - Mar. 28, 2008 From straight out of the photo (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93790#) pit and backstage photo sessions is the long-awaited, limited edition photo book, "Music (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93790#) Photography - Volume 1" by one of the music industry's busiest — and many say most stylized — photographers, the critically acclaimed Stephen D. Jensen of F3 Studios in Crystal Lake, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. Familiar faces include music legends ranging from "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott and Alice Cooper to Beefcake The Mighty and STATIC-X.

"I debuted my portfolio book at the NAMM show (National Association of Music Merchants, the music industry's largest tradeshow) in January," said Jensen. "The response to the book was so overwhelming and I received so many requests to purchase it that I decided to make it available as a limited edition."

Jensen's eye for directing and capturing the energy (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=93790#) and attitude of these rock icons is displayed in over 80 full-color live, studio, and location photographs in this 60-page hardcover book.

Maybe that's the subject of another book... I shoot many of them, create others either by hand or digitally, or stock if I'm in a hurry. Typically though I don't use too many. I tend to use a handful over and over with just some tweaks relying on the texture in the photograph to make each look different.

Well I just bought my book.

Just noticed that the shipping says 8-12 weeks?!?! wow!

[F3 Studios]

It won't be that long. That's really the worst case scenario. The books usually ship to me first (to sign) and then I send them out personally (or my assistant). It will probably be more like 3-4. I haven't shipped to Canada yet, so I don't know if there will be a delay sending from Chicago.

Thanks for purchasing.

Yes Steve I did receive the book and thank you. Wow the online pictures don't do it justice at all. What a great book. Defiantly gives me something to strive for. And thanks for the extras, they are pretty cool them selves. If anyone is wondering the quality of this book is top notch, the printer has done a wonderful job putting it together. I am very happy to display this book to friends and have had numerous compliments on your work Steve.
