Zuckerman, a contributing editor to Petersen's Photographic Magazine, excels in conceiving unusual images and manipulating his equipment to make his ideas a reality. He takes the opposite approach of most of his competitors, though--instead of producing images based on an art director's guidelines, he creates first, then examines the market for his work. An avid maker of computer-manipulated images, Zuckerman advises the reader to be aware of ever-changing trends in photography. Although most of the remarkable pictures in the book were produced with a medium format camera, all of them can be accomplished with 35mm equipment.
From Library Journal
A contributing editor of Petersen's Photographic and author of several books on photography (including The Professional Photographer's Guide to Shooting and Selling Nature & Wildlife Photos , Writer's Digest, 1991), Zuckerman here offers special effects ideas that will appeal to both the novice and more experienced photographer, especially since they can be achieved without large outlays for equipment. Rather than the typical, gimmicky images often found in titles on special effects, Zuckerman shows how techniques like hand-coloring, negative sandwiching, and masking can be used to illustrate a concept. Sample photos contain captions that explain, step by step, how an effect was produced. This text provides a functional yet fun how-to of photographic manipulation, which can produce images that are highly marketable as advertising imagery. A solid choice for all photo collections.-- Kathy J. Anderson , Jackson Cty. P.L., Seyms H. Appleton Jr., Kentucky Historical Soc., Frankfort
