Textbook (Paperback - New Edition)
Textbook Information
Focusing on black and white photos, this book looks at both the camera and techniques needed to capture good images, as well as the digital processing that can be applied. Black and white is the first area aspirant photographers express an interest in. Spanning the topic from capturing photos through to the latest information on digital printing and DVD burning, this book provides amateurs with a solid foundation. The digital focus of this book is comprehensive, including both recreation of traditional effects and all-new digital techniques. It approaches black and white photography from a practical, tutorial view, not just an artistic view, so that readers benefit from an understanding of all perspectives-an important factor in the competitive arena of digital photography.
Since discovering photography as a simple escape from IT consultantcy, John
Beardsworth has devoted more than a decade of his life to developing his photography skills. He has spent that time making his darkroom redundant by
adopting the new digital workflow, yet has kept his eye on the style and texture
of black and white. His work includes tackling human expression in its rawest form, weddings, and many beautiful landscapes from across the globe. John currently resides in London, England.
