Photography and the Performing Arts

Rating:
Summary: A reasonably complete book on the subject.
Review: This book is long enough to be complete, 189 pages, and does not get boring. The author covers more angles on the subject than one might imagine. The typical camera and lens information of photo books is covered plus many other fascinating aspects of Theater photography such as "Photographic Needs of Individuals" such as actors, musicians, singers, dancers, etc.. He also covers picture quality factors and marketing of services and does so while remaining insightful. This is better than the average overview books of its type available by other authors and working photographers. I must say that Kopelow has done a fine job. The price of this book is brutally high, likely since it has little or no competition for the particular type of photography that it considers, but I don't feel cheated as I have when buying other high priced books.
