Synopsis

More and more people are travelling with their cameras in the hope of taking striking photos that capture the essence of their time away - and an ever increasing number of talented amateurs are uploading their images to picture agencies and earning extra income from selling rights. Shooting on the road, though, does present a myriad of challenges - from erratic power supplies, to difficult customs posts, so its important to be well-prepared and ready for anything. The Photographers Field Guide will help you decide what to pack, and what difficulties to plan for; invaluable advice, hard-earned by Michael Freeman during his long career in photography in the field. Once youre on location, the book will enable you to quickly evaluate your surroundings, decide what opportunities exist - and make the most of them with that definitive shot. Stunningly illustrated throughout, this is an essential book for the travelling photographer.

About the Author

Michael Freeman, professional photographer and best-selling author, was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. In 1971 he made the life-changing decision to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures he came back with, he embarked on a full-time photographic career.

Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the Smithsonian Magazine (for which he has shot more than 40 stories over 30 years), Freeman's reputation as one of the world's leading reportage photographers has been consolidated. Of his many books, which have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, more than 60 titles are on the practice of photography. For this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture.

Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
