Fotoplakwerk: begin by die begin is anders as die meeste ander
fotoplakboeke deurdat dit die klem op die foto's plaas eerder as
die tooisels wat hulle so maklik kan oorweldig. Hierdie boek met
tegnieke as die vertrekpunt - alles duidelik met stap-vir-stap
foto's geillustreer. Elke tegniek, oorspronklikes sowel as
tradisioneles, word verder toegelig met pragfoto's van
fotoplakbladsye waar die tegniek gebruik is. Die boek wemel van
deeglik beproefde wenke, en besparingsvoorstelle word deurgaans
gemaak. Met basiese sowel as gevorderde tegnieke bied dit al die
inligting wat jy nodig het om te begin, maar ook genoeg om
gevorderde fotoplakkers nader te lok. Meer as 150 voorbeeldblaaie
sal jou inspireer en leer, en die uitgebreide byskrufte gee nog
bykomende inligting eerder as om die ooglopende te herhaal.
