30 years' experience in every field of photography, from the grand portrait to the Vietnam War, has given Michael Joseph a knowledge of every aspect of the trade. Organized as a graduate "course", with 600 photographs presented in layouts designed for easy reference, this book is an encyclopaedia of practical advice and tricks of the trade, and includes technical details and techniques used for every shot. Anecdotes drawn from experience reveal the stories behind the photographs, while clear explanations of the nuts and bolts provide the guidelines that should help with photographic success.
