About this product

Product Information

Arthur d'Arazien's particular talent was to photograph American industry. He recorded with artistry, precision, and passion the powerful, emotional impact of giant machines, immense structures, and complex artifacts. His photographs are the result of meticulous planning and implementation on a grand scale. He was an experimenter and an innovator, pioneering such techniques as multiple exposures on a single sheet of film; lights in motion in the dark; and the use of reflectors, flash powder, and strobe lights to illuminate huge interior and exterior spaces. He experimented with films, cameras, lenses, focus, exposure, filters, and lighting to achieve just the right effects. D'Arazien grew up in New York City, where he attended Cooper Union Institute. He became assistant to theatrical photographer George Lucas, from whom he learned the principles of lighting and stage craft that were later to become his specialty. During World War II he served as an instructor in aerial photography for the Army Air Corps, and there he learned to use magnesium flash powder to light huge exterior expanses. Following the war, d'Arazien began a distinguished career as an industrial photographer, making photographs for such clients as Alcoa, Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., AT&T, Carrier Corp., Eastman Kodak, Ford, General Electric, General Motors, IBM, and US Steel. D'Arazien accompanies each image with a detailed explanation of the techniques he used to create the photo, discussing cameras, lenses, film, lighting, and logistics. Those interested in photography, the history of photography, or American industrial history will value this book.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

Book arrived safely packaged in perfect order. Item as described, new. Thank you Rarewaves Outlet. Fascinating book, great addition to my collection. Great price. Would recommended this seller. No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
