Darkroom craft and the photographic print

Robert Baker’s guide presents printmaking as an expressive stage of photography, connecting darkroom decisions with the way an image is brought to completion. The coverage spans practical setup and presentation—from furnishing a darkroom to mounting and displaying prints—alongside techniques for making prints and refining them through developer modifications, toning, bleaching, burning, and dodging. Examples from Ansel Adams’s own photographs illustrate the principles discussed. Identified as the third volume in Adams’s photographic-techniques series, the book brings together introductory instruction and more advanced darkroom processes in one reference.

Book overview

Filled with indispensable darkroom techniques and tips, this amply illustrated guide shows how printmaking--the culmination of photography's creative process--can be used expressively to enhance an image.

Ansel Adams produced some of the 20th century's most iconic photographic images and helped nurture the art of photography through his creative innovations and peerless technical mastery.

The Print--the third volume in Adams' celebrated series of books on photographic techniques--has taught generations of photographers how to explore the artistic possibilities of printmaking. Examples of Adams' own work clarify the principles discussed. This classic handbook distills the knowledge gained through a lifetime in photography and remains as vital today as when it was first published.

The Print takes you step-by-step--from designing and furnishing a darkroom to mounting and displaying your photographs, from making your first print to mastering advanced techniques, such as developer modifications, toning and bleaching, and burning and dodging.

"Adams is a clear-thinking writer whose concepts cannot but help the serious photographer." --New York Times

"A master-class kind of guide from an undisputed master." --Publishers Weekly
