Documenting human life and events has long preoccupied photographers, and given them wonderfully varied and challenging subject matter. This book brings together a striking collection of black and white images from a leading selection of international photographers and through them Terry Hope explores the techniques and thought processes behind the art of photojournalism.
The result is a mix of vital first-hand information and fine photography, indeed as the author declares in the introduction, "this is a book that's as much about images as it as about technique".
Terry Hope is a regular contributor to the UK's national press, including
The Times and
The Guardian.
He is the author of a number of books for RotoVision, including Nudes and Portraits in the Black and White Photography series; Wildlife and Landscape in 'The World's Top Photographers' series, Extreme Photography and Fine Art Photography.
