Title overview

Photography provides thorough yet practical coverage of both the traditional practice of photography and the now-dominant digital techniques. Authors Jim Stone and Barbara London help you understand the fundamental photographic processes, as well as how different photographers employ them for their own creative purposes.

The 13th Edition has been updated to reflect the latest in the field. Chapters 8 to 11, dedicated to digital technique, have been thoroughly updated to reflect the current state of digital photography. More than 3 dozen new photographs illustrate technical concepts and help you develop visual awareness. And the coverage of health and safety reflects the latest standards in the field.
