Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This accessible book allows readers to creatively explore picture-making through the lens of photography. Although techniques are addressed, the focus is on the 'how' rather than the 'how to', encouraging the reader to develop an educated eye. A variety of topics are covered, from both theoretical and practical perspectives, including composition, lenses, and exposure. The author emphasizes the importance of lighting, suggesting it can transform even unappealing subjects into beautiful images. By including many illustrations, some dating back to the 19th century, the author establishes the timeless relevance of photographic principles within this context. The book's final point is that the most effective artists have a profound understanding of chiaroscuro, explaining how it can be used for effect, narrative, and impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
