OK, so you're ready to start entering art competitions or preparing your first portfolio: how best to photograph your work and come up with the good slides essential for success? Saddington presents a step-by-step approach, starting with cameras (conventional 35 mm more accurately depict art than digital), lights (halogen work lamps are cost-effective alternatives to professional photography lights), and other equipment, then progresses to light setup and camera angle. Wisely, he does not presume that painters and sculptors understand photography, so he begins with brief explanations of aperture, lens, shutter and shutter speed, and exposure, then discusses single-lens 35 mm reflex cameras; automatic, two-lens instamatics; and digitals. Along the way, readers will learn about building and using a light stand; employing a light box for viewing slides; and controlling reflection and exposure. Saddington's primer is an excellent resource for shooters of all skill levels who want to effectively photograph two- and three-dimensional artworks. Whitney Scott
