Review
"Struth! Here's a book that makes even golf look exciting... 188 pages of jaw-detaching full-colour sports images from the last decade."FHM

 

"Gazette photographer Dave Charnley was left mesmorised by some of the shots in a new book dedicated to sporting action." Middlesborough Evening Gazette



Product Description
The Art of Sport captures moments of action, drama and skill from the world of sport.  It gives an all-inclusive taster from the world's sporting circuit, showcasing  spectacular, bizarre and stunning images from the world of sport. The book offers a fascinating selection of sports pictures taken by Reuters photographers who have had the vision and ability to see and capture extraordinary sporting moments. This collection comprises a sporting story with many threads: victory and defeat, natural skill, ability and hard work, beauty, strength and courage, joy and crushing disappointment - and offers some of the most clever and beautiful sporting photographs that you will ever see. The Art of Sport sets each photograph in context, outlining the circumstances behind the image: how the photographers came to be there at that moment and how they managed to document them. It showcases the two essential characteristics of the top photojournalis - a nose for a sporting story and an eye for a beautiful photograph.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sport Photography  How it should be done, 5 Dec 2004
The thing that inspired me to buy 'The Art of Sport' was the shear simplicity of the images. The images have a brief description of the methods / situations that they were taken in.
Well laid out and - large - reproductions of the images. Far more images than words in this book. The book is well bound and has a distinct feeling of quality. Would look good on any coffee table.
I have a quick look at the images just before I go out to take sports pictures, hoping that some of the vision / talent / art will rub off on me.
Well worth reading if you are an aspiring sports photographer. It certainly reprogrammed my picture taking to achieve a more artistic approach to the images that I am capturing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, 4 Dec 2002
By M. Capilitan "m_capilitan" (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This isn't a bad book. It does contain some very good and memorable images. However, it also contains some poorer ones, that maybe shouldn't have been included. As a motorsport photographer myself, I would be very critical of the F1 images in the book, which are very poor. Maybe it is because Reuters snappers tend to try their hand at all types of sport and photojournalism, whereas a dedicated agency, such as Allsport, have people covering 1 or 2 sports only.

The text accompanying the images is good in some circumstances, letting us know how the snapper came upon the picture or what he/she had to do to capture the image. Some of the text on the other hand is rather dull, not giving any insight into the image.

All in all, not a bad book and I'd recommend it to those who like their sports photography to be different to the norm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shoots and Scores, 22 Dec 2006
By cluricaune "cluricaune" (Co. Armagh, N. Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Reuters, whose origins date back to the 1850s, is best known as a news service that provides reports to newspapers and broadcasters around the world. It established the Reuters News Pictures Service in 1985, and the group has become one of the world's leading providers of photos. It employs over 120 full-time photographers and the images they capture are used by roughly 1500 newspapers and magazines worldwide.

This is a beautiful book, with a wide variety of sports included : soccer, American Football, tennis, gymnastics, baseball, skiing, ice-hockey, boxing and cycling all feature. Each photo is accompanied by a short passage explaining the background to the shot. However, the pictures aren't always of the rich and famous : while the likes of Diego Maradona, Ernie Els, Michael Johnson, Zinedine Zidane, Michael Schumacher and even Ben Johnson appear, some of the better photos feature the amateurs and spectators. There's a streaker at golf's British open, herders in Tibet playing outdoor billiards and Jamaica's very eye-catching support from the 2002 World Cup Finals. There's even one from the Sumo ring that's bound to raise a smile. For me, though, the most spectacular shot was taken during Pamplona's famous bull-run. I suspect I'm not alone : one newspaper in Germany apparently ran it under the headline "How well is the photographer ?". The only photos that may put some off come from the world of bloodsports. For example, there's one from the Waterloo Cup (hare thankfully intact) and another from the bullring (featuring a very bloodied bull that doesn't have too long left). However, even allowing for that, this is still a book I would highly recommend.
