Images are everywhere. They are displayed in streets. They are
leafed through in magazines. They jump out of our screens. And what
we most remember about them is the emotion they rouse. The work of
photo stylists is still not widely known. Yet this work is vital to
conveying the right fashion message. This publication takes you
into the anteroom of professions in fashion to discover the work
behind the scenes of photo creation: preliminary style drafts,
photo studios and casting. It is also a chance to dive into the
basics of framing and photography. Theories, focus points,
tutorials and interviews with professionals will help you better
contemplate the job of photo stylist.

This comprehensive memento is a visual guide to the city's pomp
& pageantry, celebrations, carnivals & more. This title
features more than 500 photographs from the vast archives of the
Press Association. One of the world's great cities, Britain's
capital has long been an icon not only for the seven million
inhabitants who live and work there, but also for the many visitors
who flock to the metropolis from nationwide and abroad. With the
majestic River Thames flowing through its heart, London is home to
the Royal Family, hub of finance, seat of government, a centre for
the arts and host to several international sporting events. This
book forms a tour of the city's historic streets of medieval and
classical architecture, sumptuous palaces and distinctive bridges.
It captures the rich characters of Soho and Chinatown, London's
quaint squares and verdant parks, the vibrant West End, world-class
restaurants, the ubiquitous London pub, fine museums and art
galleries and the stadia that host sporting spectacles. This
comprehensive tourist memento is a visual guide to the city's pomp
and pageantry, celebrations, carnivals and glittering night life,
as well as to the rich mix of diverse cultures that nevertheless
exude a unique character, all revealed in more than 500 photographs
hand-picked from the vast archives of the Press Association.
When you think of London, what do you see? The Houses of
Parliament? The bustle around Piccadilly Circus? Elegant Victorian
streets and squares? The Tate Modern? Or even Camden Market? With
London, there are so many different aspects to the city. In more
than 200 striking images, London celebrates the British capital,
from its famous landmarks to atmospheric alleyways, from the top of
the Shard to London Underground's lost ghost stations, from the
parks to the canals to the Thames. Exploring both the history and
modernity of the city, the book reveals the city's legacy as a
capital and a trading hub, but also looks at how the contemporary
city lives and breathes as a multi-ethnic metropolis. Presented in
a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind
each entry, London is a stunning collection of images celebrating
the world's most interesting city.

This guidance covers the practical application of photogrammetry in
recording cultural heritage, with particular reference to structure
from motion (SfM) techniques. Our audience for this document
includes survey contractors, archaeological contractors, voluntary
organisations and specialists. Photogrammetric image acquisition
and processing, until recently requiring a considerable investment
in hardware and software, are now possible at a fraction of their
former cost. This has led to a huge increase in the use of
photogrammetry in cultural heritage recording. The skills required
to apply the techniques successfully and accurately are discussed,
and background information on how various parts of the process work
is provided so that better results can be achieved through better
understanding. Photogrammetry is characterised by its versatility,
and is applicable over a wide range of scales, from landscapes to
small objects. The particular requirements needed at these
different scales are outlined, and both imaging techniques and
useful ancillary equipment are described. The different types of
outputs are discussed, including their suitability for further
interrogation using a range of established analytical techniques
and the presentation options available. A range of case studies
illustrates the application of photogrammetry across a variety of
projects that broadly reflect the areas discussed in the text. This
document is one of a number of Historic England technical advice
documents on how to survey historic places.
