I am John Slater and many moons ago I was Technical Manager at Nikon UK and lectured at the Nikon School of Photography. I also lectured in Photoshop at the London College of Fashion and set up the photographic course at Aoraki Polytechnic in New Zealand’s South Island. I have worked on many photographic books and have written two of my own on Photoshop. The last book I was involved with featured Alfred Hawes Stone, a lawyer and photographer in Perth, Australia during the1850s when photography was in its infancy. This book was produced using InDesign and has over 200 retouched historical photos.
