Photography Foundations for Art and Design: A Practical Guide to Creative Photography - Softcover

Reviews of current edition:

"This is another great book for all of those who are starting to learn the tools and techniques of photography. It is written in a clear, and well-illustrated set of exercises, that will help you build all of your photo skills, and make quality images. Both teachers and students will love all of the information they will find in this book, and will use it as a constant reference source." - www.apogeephoto.com

'An excellent book, perfectly pitched for students at this level. I wish we could afford to buy more copies!' (Teacher, GNVQ Art & Design)

'Full of interesting ideas and assignments which will keep a photographer busy for a long time to come. If any student of photography, formal or informal and of any age, only ever buys one book on photography, this should be the one.' The Photographic Journal

'This type of book is few and far between' (Teacher of GCSE/C&G Photography, Pre Degree and GNVQ)

This third edition maintains the aim of providing a clear and comprehensive explanation of fundamental photographic techniques. Although the key focus of this update is bringing the digital content more in line with developments in this area, modifying the existing text to embrace digital capture and out-put more thoroughly. This acknowledges the requirement by those students who are now capturing and outputting digitally. Terminology such as film, film speed, etc. will be updated to include digital image sensors and sensitivity.

The main focus of this text is setting a comprehensive list of aims, objectives and resources. Staff and students alike are then aware of what they are expected to achieve and where to look for further information. Students or lecturers on vocational or non-vocational Photography, Art and Design or Media courses will find this book of immense value.
