How to Read a Photograph: Frame & Focus - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

How to Read a Photograph is a concise introduction to key concepts for understanding what gives a photograph its power to move us and to make us think. Lavishly illustrated with more than 115 gorgeous color and black-and-white photographs from such places as Italy, France, and New Orleans, the book guides the reader through the basic elements of what constitutes a photograph and then presents a method of analysis to help viewers understand, describe, and appreciate what is waiting to be seen within an image. The act of photographic interpretation relies on how much knowledge a viewer brings to an image, but it is difficult to notice things deeply for which we don’t have words. How to Read a Photograph provides those words, giving readers and artists the ability to articulate how a photo conveys its message and why it is compelling. How to Read a Photograph is ideal for students of photography, for art lovers, for photographers, and for anyone in search of a brief guide to photographic composition.
