From Library Journal:
Photographer Chamberlain opens this readable manual about black-and-white photography with the question "Why creative?" and then proceeds to explain succinctly why photographers are inspired to make images of the people, places, and objects around them. He further discusses equipment, notably 35mm and medium-format cameras, and darkroom techniques, with an emphasis on film processing and printing photographs. There is also an interesting section on print finishing and the presentation of one's photographs. Anyone looking for a practical, fairly comprehensive handbook on black-and-white photography will find this book to be very useful. The information about medium-format photography is particularly valuable because this kind of equipment is often overlooked in photography manuals. This book should be seriously considered by both academic and public libraries that maintain photography collections. Highly recommended.?Raymond Steven Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, Ill.

From Publishers Weekly:
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The majority of this book is devoted to an exhibit of British photographer Chamberlain's own work. In this Folio Section, the author favors studies of nudes and some carefully considered special techniques. Each photograph is also accompanied by a description; one includes the author's cheerful admission that "the model declared it was the best photograph he had ever seen of himself . . . !" This cloying tone saturates the entire text, making the workmanlike chapters on equipment, the studio and darkroom methods a chore to read. Although there is always something to learn from an accomplished photographer's selection of his favorite picturesand this volumes offers some well-organized information about black-and-white photography for the serious amateureven admirers of Chamberlain's work must concede that a kinder and more conscientious editor would have helped the author crop the text.
