This book is an absolute godsend for any photographic student. Simple to understand, with plenty of diagrams and text covering every aspect of photography that you would need to know, and is suitable for all levels of photography. It has, and will continue to be a fantastic help to me, throughout my next two years of study.

Quite possibly the best photography textbook available
3 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
The late Michael Langford was one of the most prominent and acomplished authors of photography essays. His works are unrivaled in their analitical depth, focus on the fundamental principals and mechanisms in photography, but also in their serious academic approach on the subject.
Advanced Photography together with its companion volume Basic Photography are in my opinion truly invaluable source of well written, instructive information, covering nearly every aspect of the photographic process.
In this day and age where there is stifling overabundance of shallow, uninspiring and downright useless "textbooks", which are unable to teach you anything, Advanced Photography and Basic Photography stand as standard setting, one of a kind tutorials. Very highly recomended.

Excellent "advanced" photography
12 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Although this book is not for everyone, I found it to be the best explanation and reference for many aspects of photography. Unlike other books, this goes into depth to explain the technology well. It is the kind of book that explains Density vs. Exposure curves, color balance and white point temperature (even mireds), lens, cameras, studio lights, etc, etc. It doesn't go into great depth of how to actually compose and capture a great picture, but it does go a long way to explaining how the tools work at a level that engineers or technology-savy people will appreciate.
