Review
"Reviews: 'There is a lot here that would be of use to photography students on GCSE, A-Level or BTEC courses, or to those doing photography as part of a foundation course. ' Amateur Photographer magazine 'An excellent book, perfectly pitched for students at this level. I wish we could afford to buy more copies!' (Teacher, GNVQ Art & Design) 'This type of book is few and far between' (Teacher of GCSE / C&G Photography, Pre Degree and GNVQ) 'An invaluable aid to teachers of photography... clear and concise text.' (Teacher of GCSE, A level and Diploma in Photography) 'Full of interesting ideas and assignments which will keep a photographer busy for a long time to come. If any student of photography, formal or informal and of any age, only ever buys one book on photography, this should be the one.' The Photographic Journal 'Galer's book is awesome when it comes to simplicity and understanding the fundamentals of photography. I definitely recommend this book.' Reader review on Amazon.com 'There is a lot here that would be of use to photography students on GCSE, A-Level or BTEC courses, or to those doing photography as part of a foundation course.' Amateur Photographer, July 2000
Product Description
This is an invaluable study guide for schools and colleges offering photography courses. It provides support and guidance to staff and students with a structured approach to photography based on the principles of Art and Design. This new edition not only provides an explanation of fundamental photographic techniques but also offers a series of sequential study exercises. The student can therefore adopt an independent learning approach, which can be monitored closely through tutorials. Each study exercise will help build design skills, and teach the student to research, plan and execute work in a systematic manner. A comprehensive list of aims, objectives and resources are detailed so that both staff and students are clear at the outset what they are expected to achieve and where to look for further information. If you are a student or lecturer on GCSE, GNVQ, A Level or BTEC Photography, Art and Design or Media courses then you will find this book of immense value.

Format:Paperback
This book surprised me enormously with its user frinedly material. Much of the work, tasks and information is very suitably designed and phrased. So that even when you may be having an off day students will understand all the language and vocabulary. This book has become my bible.

Format:Paperback
This book is structured as a book for a photography course, but it very useful for self-taught photographers as well, especially those who had mastered the "technical" side but not the "artistic" one yet.
The book covers the the basic (and some not-so-basic) techniques for the main areas of photography (i.e. landscapes, portraiture, photo story, etc.). It encourages the reader to try what he/she learned with a lot of "practical assignments" and research hints.
The only drawback is some of its material has been reused in other Galer's books, i.e. "Essential skills - Location photography" making them overlap a bit too much.

This book could easily be used as a text book for photography courses. It is easy to use and uses simple language to deal with the harder technical side of photography. It also begins to analyse meanings and examples of more concetual work which is great for anyone studying. The small case studies of a piec of artists work really helps, and I have photographed a few times for my studies.
If you know someone studying photography or even thinking about it this book gives encouragement and can even be used to self study.
