Here is the essential reference for any serious amateur photographer who wants to master the possibilities of black-and-white with a 35 mm SLR or medium-format camera. Covers all aspects, including: necessary equipment, using a studio, mastering the darkroom, the film/developer relationship, special techniques, successful flat copying and print finishing, and presentation. Practical Photography calls David Chamberlain's writing "...practically illuminating, especially for those interested in learning new techniques and exploring new areas of photography".

Photographer Chamberlain opens this readable manual about black-and-white photography with the question "Why creative?" and then proceeds to explain succinctly why photographers are inspired to make images of the people, places, and objects around them. He further discusses equipment, notably 35mm and medium-format cameras, and darkroom techniques, with an emphasis on film processing and printing photographs. There is also an interesting section on print finishing and the presentation of one's photographs. Anyone looking for a practical, fairly comprehensive handbook on black-and-white photography will find this book to be very useful. The information about medium-format photography is particularly valuable because this kind of equipment is often overlooked in photography manuals. This book should be seriously considered by both academic and public libraries that maintain photography collections. Highly recommended.?Raymond Steven Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, Ill.
