Reframing Photography (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

In an accessible yet complex way, Rebekah Modrak and Bill Anthes explore photographic theory, history and technique to bring photographic education up to date with contemporary photographic practice. Reframing Photography is a broad and inclusive rethinking of photography that will inspire readers to think about the medium across time periods, across traditional themes, and through varied materials.

Intended for both beginners and advanced students, for art and non-art majors, and for practicing artists, Reframing Photography compellingly presents four concerns common to all photographic practices: vision, light/shadow, reproduction, and editing. Each part includes a thoughtful essay, providing a broad cultural context for each topic alongside discussion of examples from across history and genres. Essays introduce the work of artists working with diverse subjects and a variety of processes (straight photography, social documentary, digital, mixed media, conceptual, etc.) examine artists' conceptual and technical choices, describe cultural implications and artistic influences, and analyze how these concerns interrelate. "How-to" sections complement each essay with descriptions and step-by-step instruction of a fascinating range of related photographic equipment, materials and methods through concise explanations and clear diagrams.
