Photography Foundations for Art and Design: A Practical Guide to Creative Photography

By Mark Galer

This third edition maintains the aim of providing a clear and comprehensive explanation of fundamental photographic techniques. Although the key focus of this update is bringing the digital content more in line with developments in this area, modifying the existing text to embrace digital capture and out-put more thoroughly. This acknowledges the requirement by those students who are now capturing and outputting digitally. Terminology such as film, film speed, etc. will be updated to include digital image sensors and sensitivity. The main focus of this text is setting a comprehensive list of aims, objectives and resources. Staff and students alike are then aware of what they are expected to achieve and where to look for further information. Students or lecturers on vocational or non-vocational Photography, Art and Design or Media courses will find this book of immense value.

A guide to creative photography

I checked this book out at my library not just once but twice. I'm sure that I'll check it out again until I buy my own copy, which I will be doing very soon. I want to go to school and major in photography. I know very little about the subject and decided to read up on it and have found many many books on the subject. Mark Galer's book was the first photography book that I came upon that was simple enough for me to understand everything, which is not the case with all photography books. Books on photography I have found to be very technical in terms and description. But Galer's student book is awesome when it comes to simplicity and understanding the fundamentals of photography. I definitely recommend this book.
