Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... the extreme realist, feels and admits that truth in excess is wisdom written backwards. This applies to photography as much as to any other form of art. That good art must be based on truth to Nature is-admitted by the most conventional, but the word " truth " has become a kind of automatic cry little understood by many who use it. The aim and end of the artist is not truth exactly, much less fact; it is effect. I know this sounds shocking to the purist's ear, but it is quite true. There is no doubt he best gets his effect by way of truth, but he uses it as he would a servant, not as a master. The newest critics go so far as to say that effect is not only the aim but the end of art, and will not admit that it need say anything more. It is not good to set up a fetish, even a respectable one. Truth should be classed with the other materials, whether paint, brushes, canvas, cameras, or prepared plates. All must, of course, be properly used or success will be missed, and the greater the ambition the more prodigious the fall if failure ensues, which is as it should be. Fortunately the photographer has always the opportunity of destroying his failures, a privilege, however, of which he seldom takes sufficient advantage. Besides the truthful ones, there are those who honestly have a holy horror of anything they do not think legitimate in photography, but there are more who only pose as strict and proper professors of our gentle art. The standard of what is right is, however, often of their own setting up, and a false one. What is our art that it should be more strictly guarded than any other? There are proverbially tricks in all trades, and why should we not have some in ours? This affectation of pure photography is like talking of the " well...

Excerpt from The Elements of a Pictorial Photograph But although the average photographer comes to a dead-lock when he gets to the end of technical excellence as generally understood, there are still left some most fascinating technical difficulties to get over of which he at present knows nothing, merely because he has not yet acquired the eyes to see the use of them. These will certainly enchant him if he ever get so far on his second journey as to be privileged to know them.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIX. PORTRAITURE--GEOUPS--PROPORTION. The composition of a poitrait group depends very much upon the character of its constituents. Two or three children, if they are not excessively stupid samples, are very easy to group together, and, -when -well done, make the most agreeable and natural pictures; while two adults, especially of the male kind, although easier to photograph, seldom make an effective composition. The great art in the composition of a group is in so arranging -the figures that they shall have some relation to each other, as well as the ordinary elements of pictorial construction. There should be some bond of union between those who compose the group; some incident should be represented in which they are mutually interested; or something must be imagined out of the picture to attract the attention of both if only two are represented, or of many of them if there is a number. The figures should be massed together, and not scattered over the space so as to make it necessary to examine each portrait in detail, until it has been seen, and the effect agreeably felt, as a whole. Nothing has a more disagreeable effect than two figures in one picture which may be cut in two without much injury to either half--two figures, like Enid and Geraint in the wild land-- "Apart by all the chamber's width, and mute As creatures voiceless, through the fault of birth. Or two wild men supporters of a shield, Painted, who stare at open space, nor glance The one at other, parted by the shield." It is not necessary, in representing two persons in conversation, that they should be looking at each other; the effect of listeningcan be rendered without putting them to that trying ordeal. It constantly happens that in conversations even on the...

George Todd, a teacher of and writer on photography, selects 80 of his ownolour images and describes the story behind each of them in this book. Theubjects vary from the purely abstract to still life, architectural andandscape photographs, and the locations range from Italy and Greece to theouthern United States.;In each case the author describes how the image wasreated, from the original conception of the picture, through the choice ofiewpoint and composition to the final selection of the chosen exposure forrinting. What all the images have in common is that they triumphantlyemonstrate that colour can, in and of itself, be a compositional tool, andhat the use of strongly contrasting forms and shadows need not be confinedo classic black and white photography. On the contrary, as this book shows,olour can be just as much a fine-art form as monochrome and, indeed, thathe bold and inventive use of the colour medium can give the photographer'sork a valuable extra dimension.

Photography is a complex craft. Some excel at the technical side of image-making, focusing perfectly on the subject, releasing the shutter at just the right moment and making exposures with the precise amount of light. Others are artists and storytellers, capturing a fleeting moment in time which inspires a viewer to gaze upon an image and ponder its meaning. The best photographers are masters of both. In this highly visual, informative new book, Angela Faris Belt discusses the four crucial elements of photography that are essential for successful technical and conceptual image-making: .the photographic frame and its borders .quality of focus as determined by the aperture or lens .shutter speeds and their effects in relation to time and motion .the physical media used to create the aggregate image Step-by-step guidance including informative screen shots, traditional darkroom and Photoshop techniques, suggested exercises, and before and after images help both film and digital photographers improve their skills, learn new techniques, and better understand their craft. More than 300 stunning, full color images and portfolios featuring the work of over 40 prestigious artists provide visual inspiration as well as a gorgeous collection of artwork for photography enthusiasts.

As digital cameras and software packages become more advanced, seemingly by the minute, it has become easier than ever to overlook the basic elements which have always resulted in the best photographs, no matter how fancy (or primitive) the camera itself. Composition is the single most important aspect of creating great images, no matter what level of photographer you happen to be. No amount of digital wizardry can turn a badly composed image into a picture you would want to display. While many books on composition tend to overcomplicate the subject, this book breaks down everything you need to know into small, digestible chunks of information that you will actually remember once you're out and about taking pictures. Instead of plodding through long and complex pages of text, this book supplements the necessary information, such as the basics of the rule of thirds and how to get good highlights and shadows, with tons of gorgeous, full color images that actually show you what to do and how to do it, rather than just telling you what to try. You'll be amazed at the gorgeous images you'll create, whether your passion is for photographing your family, pets, travel adventures, nature, or anything else.
