Photography : Professional Photography Explained

A Review of Techniques, Development and Application

Most lay people see the results of photography but are not quite conversant with the process through which the images are created. It is important to note from the outset that photography is a multidisciplinary endeavor that could be qualified as both an art and a science.

The technical definition is that of the practice of creating, developing and presenting durable images through the recording of electromagnetic radiation as well as light. Photography can be done using electronic means by way of an image sensor. Alternatively it can be achieved through chemical means by way of a light-sensitive material. This material is known as photograph film in industry parlance.

The photographer may use a pair of lens in order to focus the light that is naturally emitted by objectives. These are then placed onto a real image which sits on the light-sensitive material. That surface typically sits within a camera. Photography requires a fixed time exposure under controlled conditions. There is an alternative of using electronic image sensors. These will produce an electrical charge which is hosted on each pixel. Using modern equipment, it is possible to process and store that information on a digital image file.

Valuable resource book!

I have checked out many books about photography from the library but most books I checked out were boring, dry, hard to understand, and full of a bunch of technical terms; this is not the case with this book. This book is easy to understand and it gives simple tips to improve photography. This is a great book or I can call it a guide to get in photography or even to improve photographing ability. I love this book! I think that this is a very interesting and helpful book for professionals as well as the amateurs.

This a great book and good for professional or people who want to become professional photographers. My brother loves photography and he is always with the camera taking photos all over and asking a lot of questions on photography. I desired to guide and help him in this and was looking for a book to help me and I came across this book on Amazon. The book has given me great lessons and insight, a lot of the questions my brother asks are already answered. I am now equip and loaded on information to guide and mentor my brother to become a professional photography, thanks to the author

History of photography, not a how-to guide

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was disappointed in the book because the title did not reflect what this book is about. This book is about history of photography, it is not a how-to-guide.

This book starts slowly with the history of the word "photo" and history of photography from invention of photograph to color film and digitization. This content takes 35% of the book. The next portion of the book covers camera history, this section ends at 75% of the book. The final chapter is about technical aspects of photography, this section contains definitions rather than how-to information. If you are interested in photography history this is a good quick summary of how photography has developed through the years. It will not however, help you to become a better photographer.

Well informed, good content.

I learned a lot about how to use my camera since this book gives considerable attention to concepts such as aperture, shutter, white balance, metering, etc. However what i enjoyed the most was the section devoted to artistic photography. My only complaint is that too much time was devoted to the historical development of the camera. But overall i still give this book 5 stars for its well informed content and clear writing style.

Textbook

70% of the book talks about how photography came to be what it is today.

Then, the technical terms are explained, and how photography has diversified today. That's it.
It's more of an introduction to photography, in a very textbook styled approach.
