Accessible to both the amateur and the experienced photographer, Dorrell offers a well-illustrated explanation of the techniques involved, with sections on equipment and materials, survey and site photography, architectural photography, the recording of different types of artefacts, registration and storage, the use of ultra-violet and infra-red, and photography for publication. Also covered is the growing use of video and electronic recording systems. 275p with 102 figs & illus. (Cambridge UP 1989, 2nd edition 1994)
