A Series of chapters on the practical and theoretical principles of pictorial composition.
PREFACE.
THE art possibilities of photography, although fairly demonstrated, are not yet fairly recognised, or sought after. How to use the camera and chemicals is not all the knowledge required by a photographer to make him an artist, any more than knowing how to use pigments and brushes is all a painter requires to produce pictures. To "take" a mere ordinary photograph is a simple easy task, to produce by photography a genuine picture is quite another thing. In the following chapters I address beginners in art, who, although they may be accomplished photographers, are not artistic, and if to certain sections of my readers I appear too didactic I trust they will remember that I am addressing not only advanced students but also the young in art, including the veriest tyros. Some of the chapters included in this volume have already appeared in The Practical Photographer and The Amateur Photographer, but each has been carefully revised, added to, and for the most part re-written.
