Reading Material

M FREEMAN
2011 (Revised)
The Digital SLR Handbook
Ilex Press

This book has just arrived and I think its going to be interesting reading about the theory behind lens circle of confusion and other technically issues. I have realised that you do not need to read this sort of book as a novel but rather to read the sections that apply to you at the time.

Master lighting guide
Amhurst Media

I have had this book for a while but I have re visited it at the start of the first assignment, looking at the placement of lights and reflectors, a very useful book although not an academic book as such.

T LACKEY

The art of children's photography
Amhurst Media

Again a book I have had for some time and again not an academic book but nether the less a good starting point for some poses and ideas for children's photography.

This book is useful for design purposes, I have used it several times before on my Art of Photography Course and have found it has clarified several points for me.

this book showcases classic photographic artists of our time some who are still living some who are not, a very interesting book as it shows a variety of different styles, giving the reader food for thought.
