By Brian Horton A NEW, revised 2001 edition of the AP GUIDE TO PHOTOJOURNALISM, a soft-cover book with some 200 photographs, written by AP Photo Editor Brian Horton, is available to member newspapers and AP staff. AP Senior Photo Editor Brian Horton takes you beyond the basics of lenses and exposure times to offer a rare, insider's perspective on the art and craft of photojournalism. While he does provide useful instruction on technical considerations, his main concern is with the less tangible, indispensable elements of content, style, and the creative process. Using some 200 photographs from AP archives to illustrate his points, Horton analyzes what constitutes great news photos of every type, including portraits, tableaus, sports shots, battlefield scenes, and more. He offers unique insights into composition and style, along with invaluable advice on how to develop a style of your own.
And, in a chapter new to this edition of the AP Guide to
Photojournalism, he explores the pros and cons of digital photography
and the latest in digital development and processing.
