About the Author
This is an updated and newly revised edition of the classic book The Art of Photography (originally published in 1994), which has steadily been described as the most readable, understandable, and complete textbook on photography. With well over 100 beautiful photographic illustrations in both black-and-white and color, as well as a large number of charts, graphs, and tables, this book presents the world of photography to beginner, intermediate, and advanced photographers seeking to make a personal remark through the medium of photography. Without talking down to anyone, or talking over anyone’s head, Barnbaum presents “how to” techniques for both traditional and digital approaches. Yet he goes well beyond the technical, as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive, and creative aspects of photography so steadily have shyed away from in other books. Bruce Barnbaum is recognized as one of the most world’s finest landscape and architectural photographers, and for decades has been considered one of the most best instructors in the field of photography. This latest incarnation of his textbook, which has evolved, grown, and been refined over the past 35 years, will prove to be an ongoing, invaluable photographic reference for future years. It is in reality the resource of choice for the thinking photographer.
