About this title

Synopsis

Practical Picture Research is written for picture researchers who work not only in book publishing, but in television, advertising, magazines, audio-visual production, exhibition design, museums, packaging, production of records, cassettes and CDs, and many other types of business - from a symphony orchestra to a hotel chain. It will be invaluable too, to those people who are considering a career as a professional picture researcher and to editors, designers, personal assistants and others who are responsible for finding pictures as part of their job.
This practical book is a guide to current practice, procedure, techniques and resources. Starting with the basic skills you need and advice on training that can be obtained, career opportunities are discussed as well as the pros and cons of freelancing. You are conducted through the procedures of research: where should you go (and where shouldn't you go) for your pictures? What kind of pictures should you choose? How can you obtain them most easily? You are steered through the pitfalls of copyright, fees, rights and conditions. Reproduction methods are explained with helpful examples.
Then you are led step by step through an assignment, with advice on everything from budgeting to invoicing, insurance and security. Finally, a reference section lists helpful organizations, useful libraries and individual books of reference, and provides a glossary of words and phrases.
