"Over the years Mike Busselle has undertaken hundreds of photographic jobs. Illustrating his points with a wide selection of his best colour and black-and-white photographs, each accompanied by a detailed caption, Mike passes on his hard-won secrets in a wealth of ideas and suggestions. The book has been organised in self-contained units so that you can dip into it and select assignments to suit your mood or circumstances - or even combine them if you wish. Each of the seven sections offers a different approach to the photographer's craft, featuring advice on improving your techniques, enhancing your sense of composition and style, and strengthening your use of light and colour. Equally, you are encouraged to adopt an imaginative outlook on subjects and themes, whether they be indoors or outdoors, portraits or landscapes, still lifes or special effects."--BOOK JACKET.
