Have been buying copies of books in this series because there is much to be learned from classic film photographers. Reading about their methods makes me appreciate my digital camera and Photoshop more than ever!This is one of a series of eight books on various aspects of photography. They were published in the mid Seventies and have a great deal of good information and diagram some of the shots featured in the book. because of the time frame it is all film. No digital photography as it had not been invented yet. This book is one of the best of the eight and that is saying something as they are all good. Sadly Art Kane committed suicide five or six years after this book came out, so it is now a retrospective of most of his work.
