Synopsis

A HUNDRED YEARS ago photography seemed to be magic. Today we know that it can be magic. The 4th edition of this book, which has been a guide to photographic wizardry for many years, was thoroughly revised and brought up-to-date by Edwin Smith shortly before his recent death. It shows that startling pictorial effects, fantastic variations of reality and amusing deceptions of the eye are possible; such deceptions are in fact often used for political propaganda. The author reveals the technique, tricks and ideas of his long experience for the imaginative photographer. He removes the camera one step furtherfrom the tyranny of everyday appearance and takes it one step nearer the world of ideas. Many new photographs are included in this edition. EDWIN SMITH was a professional photo­grapher, architect, painter and author of photo­graphic books. His widow, Olive Cook, has written a preface which describes his fascina­ting career.
