Where such little of the artistic is known among the masses of photographers or camera students, a book of this nature could not be amiss. I feel a competency to undertake such a work as this, having taken a course of several years at two of the best art schools in the U. S., namely, St. Louis and New York City, receiving as a result of my studies two medals for best drawings and best portraiture in oil colors from life, together with mentions. For the past three years I have held a position as Instructor in Retouching at the Illinois College of Photography in connection with talks given on Art.

In the first place, the end and aim of photography is to please, in other words, to make beautiful. All nature tends towards the ideal, perfection; all human efforts should be to the ideal. Pictures when made at their best and highest are the most beautiful things man can produce. They are the life of the individual, leaving here an impression, there an impression of his inward self, brot out in his productions. The higher our ideals, the better our work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns retouching - a post photography process that perfects images to make them suitable for portraits. The author, an experienced retoucher and art instructor, guides the reader through a detailed course on how to retouch photographs to the highest technical and artistic standard. In addition to technical instruction, the author provides philosophical insights into the nature of artistic retouching, such as the concept of perspective, the feeling of texture, and how to convey the correct expression from the subject. These insights provide not only a firm understanding of photographic retouching but the fundamentals behind what makes for an aesthetically pleasing portrait. Ultimately, this book is not only a practical manual but also an illumination into the choices that go into touching up photographs with the goal of artistic excellence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330586341_0
