Product Description
Toy Cameras, Creative Photos is the perfect book for creative photographers, image-makers, designers, and toy camera aficionados. Focusing on the photographs produced by each camera, this is a stunning visual guide to the unique stylistic qualities that different toy cameras offer. Arranged by camera model (all of the cameras included are readily available and in popular current use), Toy Cameras, Creative Photos discusses camera characteristics, special tricks, foibles, functionality, and interesting projects by users, but the visual emphasis is firmly on the photographs. The workings of each camera model are described, as are the ways in which they differ from "everyday" digital cameras, and the distinctive photographic results reveal a huge potential for experimentation that moves away from run-of-the-mill photography. Including a gallery of images produced by each camera, a resource section on film types, and adapting cameras to the use of film, Toy Cameras, Creative Photos fills a gap in the market for a comprehensive guide to this most hip and exciting of creative photographic endeavours.

This review is from: Toy Cameras, Creative Photos: High-end Results from 40 Plastic Cameras (Paperback)
Take a trip through some thoroughly weird and wonderful 'toy' or novelty cameras. Have Hipstamatic on your phone? Like it? Then you'll love this book. Kevin Meredith is, along with being Lomo Ambassador 'lomokev', a serious photographer who doesnt take photography seriously and his books are fantastic and celebratory as a result. Get down to one of his talks if you ever get the chance... but in the mean time buy the books!

This review is from: Toy Cameras, Creative Photos: High-end Results from 40 Plastic Cameras (Paperback)
I have the two earlier books from Kevin Meredith which I enjoyed, particularly the first book. Hot Shots: How to Refresh Your Photos Although I'm not interested in film photography I found them to be both interesting and helpful with ideas for my digital work.Not so with this book as it really is of use for people who are thinking of buying 'toy' film* cameras. It would really help with making those decisions but is of no use to people like myself. If your like me buy one of his earlier books, well recommended. Photo OP: 52 Inspirational Projects for the Adventurous Image-Maker *There are a couple of digital 'toy' camera reviews inside.
