George Todd is known internationally for his skill at creating Cibachrome prints of exceptional clarity and brilliance, leading reviewers to describe him as the Kandinsky of photography. Now, following his successful exploration of the potential of monochrome in From Seeing to Showing, he opens his colour cabinet to reveal the striking hues and dazzling patterns of the everyday world seen through the eyes of an exceptionally imaginative and accomplished lensman. The result is a true 'eye opener', showing how an exuberant, unreserved use of colour can be applied to a variety of subjects ranging from the classic motifs of the American West to abstractions that would not be out of place in a gallery of modern painting.

Elements of Colour Photography is a hymn of praise to the art of colour photography which reveals how a deep concern for light, texture and composition can be combined with consummate technical skill to create powerful and evocative photographs. This is not a 'how to' book in the traditional sense, but as readers follow Todd's description of the creation of each of his images, from the moment when the subject first attracted his attention, through the process of composition and the choice of exposure, to the final selection of the picture to be printed, they will find themselves both educated and inspired. A closing chapter about the photography then completes this unique and beautiful book.
