The Complete Photography Course

This is a photography manual. It is organized as a graduated "course" which aims to appeal to the beginner, competent amateur and the professional alike. From film, cameras and lenses through lighting and accessories to the more professional concerns of agents and copyright, location finding and propping, the authors solve a variety of photographic problems. Practical advice and tricks of the trade are provided including technical details and techniques used for every shot. Anecdotes drawn from years of experience reveal the stories behind the photographs. Regular feature spreads take the reader into actual photographic sessions where the problems encountered varied from shooting a Rolling Stones album cover to orchestrating an orgy with a cast of 100 extras.
