Now beautifully illustrated in full colour with brand new full colour student and author work, Studio Photography has been updated and improved to cover all the latest techniques. With the refreshed images and illustrations you will clearly be able to see how to use a wide range of photographic effects to their full advantage.

In this truly inspirational update John Child focuses on three core elements of studio photography; technique, communication and design within the genres of still life, advertising illustration, portraiture and fashion. New information on lighting interiors and exteriors on location are included to allow you to become proficient at using studio equipment along with your mastered professional techniques. It is an essential guide for photographers either working with small, medium or large format cameras in a controlled environment whether you image output is to either film or digital file.

You are encouraged to experiment whether you have expensive equipment, or are using natural light sources; either way you will see how it is possible to achieve acceptable results and develop your skills.

John Child lectures in photography at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia - the leading photography course in the southern hemisphere. He has worked for many years as a professional photographer, with clients including Ford, L'Oreal, American Express and British Airways.
