Over 200 original photographs illustrate more than 100 vintage cameras and images taken using them. Runs through over 150 years of photographic history, with an explanation of photographic terms and techniques and advice on buying, restoring and using vintage cameras and lenses. Ellwand's enthusiasm and personal experience of over 30 years of darkroom and digital photography makes this a treasure trove of knowledge and a visual delight.

David Ellwand was born in Liverpool, but grew up in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, where he worked in a camera shop and studied photography before a varied career in both commercial and fine art photography. Ellwand published his first photographic book for children in 1995. 20 years and over 20 books later, he continues to work with traditional darkroom methods as well as with the latest digital technology. The cameras here are all from his personal collection, amassed through 30 years of obsessive boot sale and auction hunting.
