The Book of Photography - Practical, Theoretic and Applied


Book Description

"Photographic Chemistry" is a 1907 work by Australian writer Paul N. Hasluck. It deals with the science behind photography, exploring the different chemicals used and describing the processes by which photographs and created and developed. This volume is not to be missed by those with an interest in the scientific aspects of photography, and it would make for a a worthy addition to related collections. Contents include: "Introductory: Relation of Chemistry to Photography," "Some Fundamental Chemical Laws," "Meaning of Symbols and Equations," "Water, it's Properties and Impurities," "Water, its Properties an Impurities," "Oxygen and Hydrogen Photographically Considered," "Theories Concerning The Latent Image," etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.




The Book of Photography


Book Description

Excerpt from The Book of Photography: Practical, Theoretic, and Applied The book OF photography has been prepared at the request of many readers of my smaller books on the subject who have expressed a wish for a comprehensive treatise, My own practice in Photography dates back to the time when the operator prepared each plate for his own use; first by a tedious process of cleaning the glass, next by dexterously flooding it with collodion, and finally by sensitising it in a bath of silver nitrate. My first photographs, some of which I still possess, were taken with apparatus wholly my own construction, which served its purpose quite satisfactorily for many years.

Basic Critical Theory for Photographers


Book Description

Basic Critical Theory for Photographers generates discussion, thought and practical assignments around key debates in photography. Ashley la Grange avoids the trap of an elitist and purely academic approach to critical theory, taking a dual theoretical and practical approach when considering the issues. Key critical theory texts (such as Sontag's 'On Photography' and Barthes' 'Camera Lucida') are clarified and shortened. La Grange avoids editorilising, letting the arguments develop as the writers had intended; it is the assignments which call into question each writer's approach and promote debate. This is the ideal book if you want to understand key debates in photography and have a ready-made structure within which to discuss and explore these fascinating issues. It is accessible to students, from high school to university level, but will also be of interest to the general reader and to those photographers whose training and work is concerned with the practical aspects of photography. Also includes invaluable glossary of terms and a substantial index that incorporates the classic texts, helping you to navigate your way through these un-indexed works. The book also contains useful information on photo-mechanical processes, explaining how a photograph can appear very differently, and as a result be interpreted in a range of ways, in a variety of books.
