This is an authoritative and comprehensive reference for understanding clinical photography and improving the reader's ability to hone their skills and knowledge. The book first explores the rationale for clinical photography before going on to provide a practical guide to equipment selection, standardized techniques and digital workflows in a range of settings, from the professional studio to the DIY enthusiast, whilst also including telemedicine. Written and edited by three of the UK’s most experienced and qualified clinical photographers, with additional chapters written by other specialists, it is richly illustrated with numerous example images and suggested protocols and covers basic photographic theory, suitable equipment, digital image workflow and a major chapter on standardized representational photography, the cornerstone of professional clinical photography. Some medical specialties are covered in detail, including dermatology, dental and oral medicine, pediatrics, orthopedics, telemedicine and photography in surgery and the operating room. As well as a practical guide to clinical photography, the book also discusses the legal, moral and ethical contexts within which photography in medicine operates and, for the first time, explores the societal, cultural and religious factors for practicing in today’s digitally literate, multicultural world. This book will provide a valuable resource for biomedical photography students, practitioners and clinicians interested in developing their photography skills and applying them to medicine.

"Image Studies provides an engaging introduction to visual studies analysis and an account of existing and emergent visual culture debates, along with chapters on a range of topics, including: consumer culture and identity; photography and digital imaging; painting and drawing; the moving image; the relationship between image and text (including reference to text in art, comics and animation); and scientific imaging. Written in an engaging and accessible way, the text will also include extracts of existing critical materials. Each chapter will include key set readings, including short extracts from existing literatures with accompanying study notes and questions. The chapters will also include a range of critical and creative tasks, designed to bring the academic study of visual culture into direct contact with practical aspects of visual culture and image-making. Image Studies is a new text aimed predominantly at undergraduate students in visual culture, but which will also be useful for media studies students and arts students more generally"--

Digital Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography discusses the growing number of applications of ultraviolet and infrared photography. Scientific and technical photographers, such as those engaged in scientific, medical, forensic, and landscape and wildlife photography routinely use ultraviolet and infrared techniques, and these techniques are growing in use in creative photography. This is the first book to address the application and potential for both ultraviolet and infrared photography in both science and art. The author, Adrian Davies, discusses the how-to of ultraviolet and infrared digital recording with a dissection of techniques, camera requirements and camera conversion, a useful appendix of resources and equipment currently available and inspirational image examples throughout. Digital Ultraviolet and Infrared Photography is an essential read for photographers using these tools either professionally or creatively.

Since its development in the 1850s photography has played an important role in the practice of medicine, whether that be in recording the progress of a patient's response to treatment, in documenting research findings or developments in surgical techniques, or in educating generations of students and graduates. The fundamental techniques used in clinical photography, developed largely during the 1950s, remain relevant today. However, the advent of digital technology has made the photography element accessible to more than just the professional and enthusiastic amateur. Whilst this poses a challenge to the professional medical photographer, that same digital revolution has opened up new opportunities to make their skills and productivity more accessible and relevant to patient care and clinical education. The book will discuss the rationale for clinical photography before going on to provide a practical guide to equipment selection, standardized techniques and digital workflows in a range of settings from the professional studio to the DIY enthusiast, and including telemedicine. For the advanced practitioner the book will look beyond standardization, exploring opportunities for more creative application of techniques. Through reviewing the use of photography in various clinical specialties, such as dermatology, dentistry, surgery and wound healing for example, we will look at traditional advanced imaging modalities such as infra-red and ultraviolet and newer techniques including dermoscopy, 3-dimentional imaging and thermography. As well as a practical guide to clinical photography, the book will also discuss the legal, moral and ethical contexts within which photography in medicine operates, and for the first time explore the social, cultural and religious connotations for practicing in todays digitally literate, multi-cultural world. This book will provide a valuable resource for biomedical photography students, practitioners and clinicians interested in developing their photography skills and applying them to medicine.

Imaging techniques seek to simulate the array of light that reaches our eyes to provide the illusion of sensing scenes directly. Both photography and computer graphics deal with the generation of images. Both disciplines have to cope with the high dynamic range in the energy of visible light that human eyes can sense. Traditionally photography and computer graphics took different approaches to the high dynamic range problem. Work over the last ten years though has unified these disciplines and created powerful new tools for the creation of complex, compelling and realistic images. This book provides a practical introduction to the emerging new discipline of high dynamic range imaging that combines photography and computer graphics. By providing detailed equations and code, the book gives the reader the tools needed to experiment with new techniques for creating compelling images. A supplemental website contains downloads and additional information.

"Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is the first monograph on Moholy to attend to the fraught but central role painting played in shaping his aesthetic project. His reputation has been that of an artist far more interested in exploring the possibilities offered by photography, film, and other new media than in working with what he once called the 'anachronistic' medium of painting. And yet, with the exception of the period between 1928 and 1930, Moholy painted throughout his career. Joyce Tsai argues that his investment in painting, especially after 1930, emerged not only out of pragmatic and aesthetic considerations, but also out of a growing recognition of the economic, political, and ethical compromises required by his large-scale, technologically mediated projects aimed at reforming human vision. Without abandoning his commitment to fostering what he called New Vision, Moholy came to understand painting as a particularly plastic field in which the progressive possibilities of photography, film and other emergent media could find provisional expression."--Provided by publisher.
