From artificial lighting to texture and hue, from increasing depth of field and the proper use of wide angle and telephoto lenses to the special challenges of photographing babies and children, every crucial artistic aspect of photography becomes clear.

Книга частично утратила свою актуальность, так как рассказывает, в первую очередь, о работе с пленочными фотоаппаратами. Но в ней содержится немало полезных советов по фотографированию разных объектов и в различных условиях.

This is a good book for beginning photographers. Not too technical, but a good overview.
