Description: "Arthur d'Arazien's particular talent was photographing American industry, recording with artistry, precision, and passion the powerful impact of giant machines, immense structures, and complex artifacts. His photographs are the result of meticulous planning and implementation on a grand scale.

An experimenter and an innovator, d'Arazien pioneered such techniques as multiple exposures on a single sheet of film; lights in motion in the dark; and the use of reflectors, flash powder, and strobe lights to illuminate huge interior and exterior spaces. He experimented with films, cameras, lenses, focus, exposure, filters, and lighting to achieve just the right effects.".

"D'Arazien accompanies each image with a detailed explanation of the techniques he used to create the photo, discussing cameras, lenses, film, lighting, and logistics. Those interested in photography, the history of photography, or American industrial history will value this book."--BOOK JACKET.
