    About this ebook

    Cinematography is the art and craft of visualizing and recording the moving image. The cinematographer therefore has to use their technical and creative skills to photographically capture the mood of the film and the vision of the director. Done properly, they add the magic and depth to a film, giving it a defining edge. This practical book explains the principles behind cinematography, as well as the skills of the cinematographer. Having described the equipment, it looks at how to interpret the script and advises on how to find a visual style. Written by a respected cinematographer, it also explains the roles of the camera crew and the importance of working as a team. Fully illustrated with 128 colour photographs.

      I would like to add my voice to those calling for AP to find ways to increase participation in the APOY contest. As someone who has entered the competition for the past few years and always done poorly, I took comfort in the past from the belief that

      I read with interest the article Bob Newman wrote about ISO not being part of exposure (AP 24 January). To my knowledge this is the second time he has written in this vein. He takes us back 50 years when he started studying photography seriously, but
