Features: Photography is an art. In photographic work, cameras are used to express inner emotions, capturing the colorful world through clever composition, unique lighting, and condensing it into photographs, making it eternal. As a professional or enthusiast in photography, one needs photographic thinking, photographic concepts, and photographic techniques to achieve something. This textbook consists of 10 chapters, including the performance and use of cameras, the structure and performance of light-sensitive materials, light and scenery, the performance of flashguns, filters and their applications, color photography, news photography, and digital photography. Emphasizing practicality and focusing on theory is one of the features of this textbook. Photography is a highly practical discipline, and each chapter of the textbook emphasizes the introduction of practical knowledge, avoiding vague discussions and content unrelated to photographic practice. Striving for innovation and avoiding clichés is the second feature of this textbook. With numerous photography textbooks available, how to avoid "old hat" is something this textbook always pays attention to. Not only does it strive for novelty in the introduction of technical issues, but it also seeks innovation in the explanation of theoretical issues. This book is accompanied by a CD-ROM, which features selected outstanding photographic works from recent years' studies. The selection of these outstanding works (with critiques in each chapter) has been carefully curated.
