Reseña del editor

Completely revised and fully updated! Award-winning photographer David Chamberlain's seminal guide to the art of black & white photography offers no gimmicks or unnecessary equipment; this approach is based on technique, namely, "pre-visualization". Explained in detail, this method allows the amateur photographer, equipped only with his 35mm camera, to push the monochrome format to a wholly original place. Find out, once and for all, the truly essential equipment from camera bodies to lenses and light meters. The actual taking of the picture is in reality a small part of the entire process. That is why large sections are devoted to the studio, developing, presentation, and folio. Helpful hints will benefit you in the darkroom, with suggestions on print finishing and special effects. However, perhaps the best way to learn is by example, and Chamberlain won't disappoint you. Bonus: over 60 gorgeous photographs from his collection on display. Techniques are explained in full for each individual piece. Creative freedom allows each photographer to search for his or her artistic identity. Learn how not to let criticism get in the way of the pursuit for your artistic identity.
