BLACK&WHITE Diary of a Printer: Postwords, cartea 5

This book is for those who are fond of analog still cameras and old printing techniques. It focuses on the role of the printer and his skills, as well as on photographers and their ideas.
The "magic" world of the darkroom still has many fans who can look at this book as a source of inspiration, to better understand both the printer and the photographers' thinking. Both have a crucial role in the choice of the best print and it is very important to understand, through the "dialogue" between the printer and the photographer, the process which leads to the final result. The book is arranged in the following way: on the left page the printer explains a negative with his practical experience, skills, and ability, while the right page displays the photo chosen and printed. The book also contains texts written by the photographers about the emotions felt during the photoshoots.
