Mark Galer's fourth edition of Foundations is an invaluable study guide for schools and colleges offering the new curriculum photography GCSE courses in photography within art.

It provides support and guidance with a structured approach to photography based on the principles on art and design. This unique 'how to photograph creatively' book is targeted at beginning photography students and amateur photographers and is not simply a dry how to guide. For the first time, it is now in full colour with brand new inspirational images throughout. The design and layout has been updated for clarity and comprehension.

The book not only provides an explanation of the fundamental photographic techniques but also offers a series of sequential study exercises. Students on GCSE, GNVQ, A Level, vocational or non-vocational photography courses can therefore adopt an independent learning approach, which can be monitored closely through tutorials.

Each study exercise will help to build design skills, and teach the student to research, plan and execute work in a systematic way. A list of aims, objectives and resources are detailed and the new layout directs students to activities and resources more easily.

This paperback book contains examples of students' photographs, worksheets, and progress reports. The 248 pages are broken down into the chapters of technical, study guides, advanced study guides, and teaching resources.

W have always thoroughly recommended this book and Version 4 is Mark Galer's best yet. We think you will find it of immense value, written by someone, still actively teaching, who based this study aid on his own experiences.
