It begins with a section on the history of photography, but the bulk of the book is devoted to a straight forward account of the craft of photography. It explains simply, and without jargon, all about cameras, films, tripods, light meters, colour filters, lamps, and so on; it gives advice on how to work a camera and how to deal with the different kinds of photography from portraits to landscapes, from photomicrography to capturing the significant, moving instant of life. Then follow clear and full descriptions of processing, film development, printing and enlarging, touching up, and finishing. The work concludes with a special section on colour photography, describing all the systems now available both in transparencies and prints. The whole is illustrated with line drawings by Gordon Cullen and a collection of photographs by some of the most renowned photographers in the world, both past and present, to provide the reader with example and inspiration. Eric de Mare, A.R.I.B.A., has been enthusiastically "building with light", as he calls photography, since he was given a box camera on his tent birthday. He was born in London in 1910 of Swedish parents, but has Huguenot ancestors. He worked on the Architects' Journal for some years and then started freelancing by canoeing across Sweden with his wife and a camera. In 1948 he explored the English canals and this resulted in a special issue of the Architectural Review and a book, The Canals of England. His other books, mostly illustrated with his own photographs, are Britain Rebuilt, Scandinavia, Time on the Thames, The Bridges of Britain, Gunnar Asplund, London's Riverside, Photography and Architecture, Swedish Cross-Cut: A Book on the Gota Canal, The City of Westminster: Heart of London, The London Dore Saw: A Victorian Evocation, London 1851: The Year of the Great Exhibition, The Nautical Style, and as a companion to this volume, the Penguin handbook, Colour Photography. Between 1965 and 1967, an Arts Council exhibition of his architectural photographs on The Functional Tradition toured the U.K. As a Social Credit advocate of long standing, he spreads the idea that, with machines to toil for us, a new age of creative (paid) leisure for all should be our aim. Meanwhile he tries to lead as free a life as monetary pressures will permit. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 002091
