Even artists with limited photography experience can produce competent reproductions of their artwork with Roger Saddington’s
easy-to-use book. This guide tells artists how to take satisfying photos without spending a lot of time or money. Readers will
learn how to: Get good results with their current photography equipment Master the relationship between film type and light
source Avoid unnecessary pitfalls with processing labs Present slides and photos professionally Recognize the best shooting
conditions.
Good slides or photos are essential for entering art competitions, applying to juried shows, keeping records and presenting
a portfolio. Artists will appreciate the book’s easy steps and common-sense approach to the photography process.
Roger Saddington gained extensive knowledge of art reproduction during his five-year tenure at the National Gallery of Victoria
in Australia. He teaches a popular class on photographing artwork and lives in Australia.
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. —Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign,
