Business and Legal Forms for Photographers
Third Edition
by Tad Crawford
Forming New Strategies for Photographers’ Success
http://www.allworth.com/Photography_Books_s/22.htm
Attorney-Author Crawford Updates Industry Classic for Apprehensive
Age.
Both the manner and business of photography have changed
in recent years. Technology has opened the door to new equipment and
opportunities, as legal and economic changes have altered the way photographers
find and perform jobs. Today’s uncertain financial climate has emphasized
the age-old need for photographers to negotiate and meet deadlines and
budgets, while legal tools for protecting their work have assumed a
new urgency. Help is now on the way. Attorney Tad Crawford has fully
revised and expanded the industry classic Business and Legal Forms
for Photographers, third edition, to help photographers organize
and promote their businesses as well as minimize legal vulnerability.
For all of the most important transactions any photographer is likely
to undertake, this volume contains thirty-one business and legal forms,
step-by-step instructions, advice on standard contractual provisions,
thorough discussion of contractual issues relevant to the industry,
and unique negotiation checklists to help photographers operate with
the highest standards of professionalism. “Attaining the knowledge of
good business practices and implementing their use is an important step
toward success for any professional,” Crawford observes.
The third edition of this esteemed guide has been updated to cover electronic
rights’ issues and includes five new forms for trademark application,
employment application, employment agreement, restrictive covenant for
employment, and project employee contract. All of the forms are included
on a CD-ROM to aid in customizing for use in the practice of the profession.
The thirty-one forms also include:
* license of rights
* application for copyright
* invoices
* sale contracts
* nondisclosure agreements
* stock agency agreements boo
Business and Legal Forms for Photographers, third edition, also
contains information on photographers’ organizations, how to contact
volunteer lawyers for the arts, and much more. In a time of rapid change,
this book is an essential resource for photographers—well-established
or beginning—seeking the path to success.
Business and Legal Forms for Photographers can be found
in better book stores, or it can be ordered directly from the publisher
by calling: 1-800-491-2808, or order online from our catalog page
where you will also find a full description, a table of contents, and
reviews.

Historic Photographic Processes
By
Richard Farber
Historic Photographic Processes is a comprehensive user's
guide to the historical processes that have become popular alternatives
to modern and digital technology. Though many of the techniques, applications,
and equipment were first developed in the nineteenth century, these
same methods can be used today to create hand-crafted images that are
more attractive and permanent than conventional prints or digital outputs.
Fine-art photographer Richard Farber incorporates extensive research
with clearly-written directions and resource lists to provide in-depth
information on eight of the most enduring processes in photographic
history, including salted paper, albumen, cyanotype, kallitype, platinum/palladium,
carbon/carbro, gum bichromate, and bromoil. He guides the reader through
each step, from selecting the appropriate paper and sensitizing it to
exposing, developing, and toning the final print. Each method is accompanied
by a short explanation of how it was originally used and its significance
in the evolution of photography.
Historic Photographic Processes contains more than fifty
color and ten black-and-white images that beautifully illustrate each
of the processes described. Chapters include an introduction to photographic
techniques and applications, such as useful safelights, sizing paper,
measuring solutions, exposure controls, ultraviolet light sources, and
making enlarged negatives, as well as an extensive section on safety
in- and outside of the darkroom. The appendix provides important information
on the chemicals discussed, as well as health-and-safety references,
supply sources in the United States, Canada, and Europe, and a complete
catalog of Internet resources.
READ and RE-READ these articles, the information is invaluable.
