Photography has long been a technical as well as an aesthetic pursuit, and modern cameras are increasingly sophisticated image capture devices. Ammonite's Expanded Guides provide comprehensive and accessible guidance in the use of these and the software required to maximise the results obtained, providing the fastest and best way to exploit today's digital cameras.

Working closely with Press Association Images' archivists to select photographs from a total of over 15 million captured during the 20th century, we are bringing important collections of pictures to life in an unprecedented way. Many of the images published in Ammonite's social history books have lain unseen since first used in the newspapers and magazines of their day: now they are reproduced to exacting standards for modern eyes.
