Hobby Guide

This revised edition is presented to full advantage in an attractive, full-color format with larger trim size. It is the ideal title for beginning and amateur photographers alike. A comprehensive guide, Teach Yourself Photography covers everything a photographer must consider--from buying a camera and selecting film to developing pictures--and includes up-to-date information on new digital technology.

This art book shows contemporary and cutting-edge work as well as historical. It deals with real-life issues of taking pictures and making prints in the practical way working photographers do. Using strong contemporary portfolio photographs, profiles of top photographers with a look at career matters, it includes practical strategies for taking and printing photographs, and a seamless mix of color, black-and-white, and digital technologies.

Written by world-renowned photographer, writer, and broadcaster Tom Ang, Photography lavishly celebrates the most iconic photographs and photographers of the past 200 years. Tracing the history of photography from its origins in the 1800s to the digital age, Photography: The Definitive Visual History is the only book of its kind to give a comprehensive account of the people, the photographs, and the technologies that have shaped the history of photography.

In the fast changing world of digital photography, no other partnership has been as successful at keeping up with current trends and developments as DK and Tom Ang. In his new book, Digital Photography Essentials, DK's richly illustrative design and Tom's clear writing and direction blend together to produce a strong combination of practical instruction with visual inspiration.
