This comprehensive volume is the fruit of a long and uniquely distinguished photographic career. Michael Freeman has long been recognised not only as being a unique talent behind the viewfinder, but a gifted and supremely clear communicator. Here, for the first time, he brings you an all-inclusive thematic guide covering every aspect of his craft.

Concentrating on the image itself, the book includes thorough examinations of natural light, artificial lighting, portraiture, reportage, action shots, landscapes, macro, studio work, colour, black and white and printing and display. There is also a thorough examination of the workings of a modern digital camera, making this a totally authoritative one-stop photographic resource.
