A lasting source of information and inspiration, it will appeal to proficient photographers as well as to beginners. This unique illustrated reference book by Michael Lang-ford encompasses all the basic principles of photography as well as an exhaustive range of visual and practical skills, right up to professional and specialist levels. The Complete Encyclopaedia of Photography is carefully planned to make any aspect of photography -theory or technique - easily accessible. On the one hand, the information required to meet any immediate photographic situation can be found at a glance; but, in addition, a topic entry can be studied at length for in-depth knowledge. As well as wide-ranging coverage of camera and darkroom techniques, there is a major section on the aesthetics of photography, with special emphasis on the dynamics of composition, and another offering detailed guidance on photographing specialized subjects. A fascinating analysis of photographic styles and "schools" provides an historical perspective from earliest days to the present. Supplemented by technical data, glossaries, diagrams and charts, and lavishly illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs and the portfolio work of master photographers, The Complete Encyclopaedia of Photography is the ultimate guide to photographic expertise.
