From Library Journal:

This well-organized, generously illustrated book addresses the specialized and often complicated task of photographing two- and three-dimensional artworks. Hart (The Photographic Essay), technology editor of American Photo magazine, also discusses the challenges of photographing museum exhibitions and works of art displayed outdoors. He systematically and thoroughly reviews every aspect of the process, from purchasing a camera and tripod to evaluating the results of a photo session. He knowledgeably discusses both technical issues, such as film speed and depth of field, and aesthetics, such as the subtle aspects of lighting and the effect of background on sculptural works. The volume concludes with professional tips on specific topics, such as photographing small artwork, using filters, and caring for slides, along with a section on mail-order suppliers. Of particular value to artists who wish to make not just acceptable but exceptional photographs of their work, this is recommended for both public and academic libraries, especially those with extensive art and photography collections.
