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
