And plenty of Style is achieved.

Once again we find a book under the general heading of photography where the title seeks to make a very big claim. Achieving photographic style is as difficult for the photographer as trying to define what precisely is meant by that very term is for the writer. In this fascinating book by one accomplished photographer, we are treated to the works of numerous other accomplished photographers - most of whom are not household names. In a book which is very thoughtfully laid out and presented, we find how successful photographers have found that certain measure of style in a situation where other photographers were also present and failed. It is always the successful photograph - and, thereby, the photographer, who is remembered. From people involved in confrontational and even warlike situations, to the peace and solitude of an outstanding landscape or a subject of still life, this is a book which should be studied by all photographers - if only because there is an image in there somewhere which will give you an immediate idea. Ideas are what photography is all about and this book is packed full of them. NM
