Outstanding

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.
