Enlightening, Informative and Entertaining,
This review is from: Edge of Darkness: The Art, Craft and Power of the High Definition Monochrome Photograph (Hardcover)
A Black and White photography manual that is enlightening, informative and entertaining?!? Is this a real first?Barry Thornton uses a quite different approach in this book to those I've seen elsewhere. He starts each chapter with a personal anecdote and proceeds to show how this 'real-life' scenario relates to elements of fine art photography. Each chapter deals with almost a single aspect of the art, but building to include previous aspects as it does so. Terms are introduced gently, and in the main, they are extremely well explained. Reading this book explained so many of the failures in my own photos. Now I finally understand why it was going wrong, and not just what was going wrong. I read a chapter or two each night, then tried to understand what I'd learned the next day. If anyone out there wants to become a better black & white photographer, then this book just has to be a high priority. This is not a coffee-table table, to use just to admire other people's pictures, this is a book to read, inwardly digest, learn from and be insprired by. The best book on Photography I've ever read.

This review is from: Edge of Darkness: The Art, Craft and Power of the High Definition Monochrome Photograph (Hardcover)
Barry Thornton's book must be one of the last words on the fine-art, high-definition photograph. What he didn't know about the art and craft of producing fine negatives and prints wasn't worth knowing. This book will reset your ideas about what really goes into making a fine print. Absolutely awe-inspiring.

This review is from: Edge of Darkness: The Art, Craft, and Power of the High-Definition Monochrome Photograph (Paperback)
This is one of my favourite books about photography, it is incredibly informative, inspirational and also very different from the others. Barry Thornton's techniques have opened very new windows for me. I miss this exceptional photographer and great teacher very much!
