My latest book in the Photography FAQs series has now been translated into French and published as Photographique FAQs: Noir et Blanc (ISBN13: 978-2-912679-78-9). Présenté comme une encyclopédie de questions-réponses de 50 thèmes, cet ouvrage couvre tous les aspects de la photo Noir et Blanc, depuis l’essence même d’une véritable image Noir et Blanc jusqu’à l’équipement nécessaire à sa capture. Noir et Blanc aborde tous les aspects de ce genre photographique, comme la saisie de la scène et sa composition, les processus de conversion, les techniques de tirage et la réalisation d’effets spéciaux ; en tant que tel c’est un ouvrage de référence indispensable. Noir et Blanc apporte des réponses détaillées aux questions-clés soulevées par une majorité de photographes aux cours de conférences, dans les magazines spécialisés et sur les forums Internet. L’ouvrage abonde d’illustrations, d’images comparatives complétant le texte, de photographies de qualité qui ne peuvent qu’inspirer le lecteur.
