Book Description
Here is a comprehensive, accessible and authoritative illustrated reference to the history, art and science of photography. In one single, elegant volume, it features over 300 iconic photographs and contains more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. Though much information can today be found online, locating it takes time and sources can have questionable provenance and uncertain academic credentials. All previous dictionaries of photography are now outdated, as well, focusing either on the famous and influential practitioners of the genre or presented as mere glossaries of technical terms. This landmark publication, newly available in paperback, is the culmination of ten years of development and research. Working with an international expert panel of 150 consultants and 79 researchers, Nathalie Herschdorfer has triumphed in creating the first source of information for all scholars, practitioners and collectors of photography to turn to in the future.

Pages : 756
Book Description
Excerpt from The Dictionary of Photography for the Amateur and Professional Photographer In the preparation of the present edition of the Dictionary Of Photography the aim has been the production of a complete yet concise volume of reference, mainly for the practical photographer. Nearly a hundred extra pages and many hundreds of new definitions have been added, and while retaining those features that have made the Dictionary a standard work, a certain amount of matter found to be obsolete or superfluous in the previous edition has been deleted. Several new processes, etc., that have come into general use since the publication of the Eighth Edition of the Dictionary are included and dealt with fully. The definitions now included, although primarily intended to be explanatory only, have in a great number of instances been enlarged to the proportions of descriptive articles where the subjects have been thought of sufficient interest for the general worker. In most cases also the task of revision has been directed towards the concentration of information previously scattered throughout the book, as, for example, in the cases of "Developers and Development," "Toning," or "Photo-Mechanical Processes." Under these heads will be found all information relating to the various phases and subdivisions of the subjects; while in their respective alphabetical order, terms appertaining thereto are briefly mentioned, and cross-references made to the main articles concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in our edition. We do, however, repair the vast majority of imperfections successfully; any imperfections that remain are intentionally left to preserve the state of such historical works.
