'What is it that a makes a photograph great? Technique alone is clearly not enough and imagination by itself is not going to get you the shot you want. The professional touch comes with developing technical skills because they are what you need to exploit the very personal qualities of your imagination and perception, and make the picture happen. Finding out about today's equipment is essential and this book starts with a guide on choosing a camera for your individual needs; on how lenses, films and shutters work; and on the importance of apertures and focal length. In the main part of this book, the portfolios of seven professional photographers are accompanied by comments and advice on composition, lighting, colour and mood. Martyn Adelman, Kim Sayar, Jerry Tubby and Tim Woodcock each demonstrate how a highly individual approach to seeing and exploring the technical possibilities of the medium is the essence of a great picture." --Book introduction,
