Description
Written by an expert printmaker, Post-Exposure will teach photographers the underlying principles as well as practices needed to produce truly excellent photography prints. Taken from over thirty years experience and addressing both black-and-white and color, its purpose is to teach photographers the refinements of photographic printmaking--taking them from making merely competent prints to truly excellent ones.
The book will provide clear explanations of principles and theory, but the focus will be on practical techniques and examples of fine printmaking. Post-Exposure will contain numerous photographic prints, including sixteen pages of color.

Reviews / Votes
"The short review is this: buy the book. It is not just another how-to-book, but is filled with theoretical backgrounds to a wide range of photographic questions; it will be an invaluable reference work on your shelves. The section on development inhibiting couplers, for example, is brilliant." - ShutterbugMore details
