Robinson H.P. The Studio and What To Do in It

Piper & Carter, 1891. — 168 p.My little books on the Art side of photography have been received with so much favour, that I venture to add another to the number. "Pictorial Effect"
treated of art principles ; "Picture Making" of the application of those principles to out-door photography ; the present work is chiefly concerned with portraiture.For in-door work a studio is essential. There have been so many different forms of studios invented, designed, or modified from others, that when a photographer wishes to build a studio, and turns to the authorities for information and guidance, he finds something very like chaos, for in the multitude of councillors there is confusion. In the following chapters I have briefly described the leading types of studios, and devoted a chapter to a description of what a very long and varied experience, and the building of half-a-dozen studios for myself, and the designing of a large number for my friends, confirm me in thinking the best.
