Description: Author: Henry Horenstein
Little, Brown, Boston, 1977. 8 1/2 x 8 1/2", 242 pages, softcover.
This book answers the more technical questions of photographers who are already
familiar with the basics. Its thrust is toward providing the photographer with the
maximum possible control in the photographic process, from the moment the film is
exposed to the point when the final print is dry. In his customary lucid style,
Horenstein treats in detail: the negative, plus several exposure methods:
photochemistry; processing, including archival procedures: techniques for control in
both film and print processes; light, with special emphasis on artificial light; and the use
of a view camera. Illustrated with almost two hundred drawings and photographs, this
invaluable book is the most thorough and understandable manual in the field for
photographers ready to take the next step.
