Excerpt from Picture Making: By Photography
The materials used by photographers differ only in degree from those employed by the painter and sculptor.
The illustrations, with the exception of one or two, owe their existence to photography. Without the help of the processes by which substitutes for woodcuts can be quickly and cheaply made from pen-and-ink sketches, a book of this kind could not be so effectively illustrated. They make no pretension to be refined examples, and their purpose will be served if they make more clear the words I have written.

The full-page illustrations are by Sprague' s Ink process, by which photographs from nature or drawings are translated into lithographs.
I have great pleasure in acknowledging my indebtedness to Mr. Henry Blackburn - who, in his well-known and highly appreciated Exhibition Catalogues, was one of the first to use the photo-etching processes extensively - for permission to use some of the blocks from his admirable illustrated catalogue of the National Gallery, a book that should be in the hands of every photographer who desires to improve his knowledge of art.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This accessible book allows readers to creatively explore picture-making through the lens of photography. Although techniques are addressed, the focus is on the 'how' rather than the 'how to', encouraging the reader to develop an educated eye. A variety of topics are covered, from both theoretical and practical perspectives, including composition, lenses, and exposure. The author emphasizes the importance of lighting, suggesting it can transform even unappealing subjects into beautiful images. By including many illustrations, some dating back to the 19th century, the author establishes the timeless relevance of photographic principles within this context. The book's final point is that the most effective artists have a profound understanding of chiaroscuro, explaining how it can be used for effect, narrative, and impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
