This book will be of special value to art students—graphic designers, artists, and students intending to make photography their career—as well as to keen amateurs. Starting from basic principles, it discusses the tools and materials of photography, and describes in pragmatic terms ways of undertaking assignments and processing and printing the results. Guidance is also given on the training and career structure of professional photo¬graphers. The photographs show the results of the methods described and are all highly successful advertising and editorial illustrations in their own right. Many diagrams illustrate equipment and procedure. JOHN HEDGECOE (who took the photographs) and MICHAEL LANGFORD (who wrote the text) are both tutors in photography at the Royal College of Art, London. John Hedgecoe, Head of the Department of Photography, is a well known advertising photographer. Michael Langford, photographer and journalist, is the author of several books on the technical aspects of professional photography. A careful study of this book will provide a clear idea of what photography is all about and can do; it will enable the camera user to employ his tools with understanding. British Journal of Photography OXFORD PAPERBACKS HANDBOOKS FOR ARTISTS Each of these handbooks has been written from day-to-day experience of the subject by a distinguished practitioner. The illustrations show how to use materials and equipment. Where relevant, advice is also given on problems to be met in professional practice. There is usually a brief historical intro¬duction; but in some subjects the historical aspect is so important that it has warranted a separate volume of original research by an acknowledged authority. The series is primarily meant for the personal library of art students following a recognized course; but any of the books will prove an invaluable supplement to the larger reference works for anyone interested in the subject. The General Editors are Quentin Bell, Professor of the History and Theory of Art, University of Sussex, author of On Human Finery, Ruskin, and The Schools of Design, and Lynton Lamb, until lately on the staff of the Slade School of Fine Art, and Lecturer on Methods and Materials of Painting at the Royal College of Art, and Author of Drawing for Illustration and Preparation for Painting. A new paperback series of great vitality a beautifully produced series with arresting full-colour covers and each stage of every process well illustrated in black and white. For the student/artist they are obviously of great practical value, and any layman reading one is sure to find his knowledge and perception of the subject considerably improved Arts Review For some artists there comes a time when the development of his range of skills stops dead. In such periods of arrest, these quite short books could offer fresh incentive, and an introduction to new fields of exploration. They go as far in instruction as text and illustration may, without actual demonstration and practice.
