作者介紹

作者介紹 Tom AngPhotographer, author, and educator.Travel and digital photography have been my love, but I’m best known as the author of over 40 books (over 190 if you count all the co-editions). They’re almost all on photography and include the best-selling Digital Photographer’s Handbook published in twenty languages and sold over 700,000 copies. My award-winning ’Photography - the definitive visual history’ is a lavish and rich history of photography from a fresh perspective that was published in 2014. It’s the book I’m most proud of. The latest, is my ’Photography - history:art:technique’ is a beautifully packaged up-date of the perennial Eyewitness Companion Photography book.I’ve had the luck to present two ground-breaking six-part series ’A Digital Picture of Britain’ and ’Britain in Pictures’ for BBC. That led to writing and presenting an eight-part series for Channel News Asia, Singapore in 2009. This won Bronze at the New York Film & TV Awards that year.I was born in Singapore and now live in New Zealand. I’ve been a Sony Digital Imaging Ambassador for several years.See more of my work and ebooks at www.tomang.comFollow me on Twitter @Tom_AngFollow me on Instagram #tomangphoto
