Product Description

Review
'Lucid, Smart and well illustrated ... a must for every serious student of the medium' - Deborah Bright, Professor of Photography and Art History, Rhode Island School of Design

'An essential purchase. It raises awareness of the main contemporary issues related to photographic practice' - Howard Riley, Swansea Institute of Higher Education

'The new edition changes are extremely timely and will enhance its usefulness as a textbook and teaching resource. Chapter introductions have been expanded, and in many cases given a broader and more sophisticated intellectual content. Recent developments in the field of photographic practice and theory are explored and the implications followed through in relation to the whole text ... the international perspective underpinning the text has been broadened ... the extended glossary provides an extremely useful resource in this complex interdisciplinary field' - Joanna Lowry, Kent Institute of Art and Design

Product Description
This seminal text for photography students identifies key debates in photographic theory, stimulates discussion and evaluation of the critical use of photographic images and ways of seeing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Valuable addition to any photography students bookshelf, 24 April 2005
I purchased this book as I am hoping to start a degree in photography in September 2005 and wanted to start "reading around" my subject. Although I haven't read this entire book, it is all ready proving its worth as the chapters' reference many other critical and theoretical works on photography that I have now started reading to widen my knowledge. It seems then that this book is ideal for dipping in and out of every now and then in order to push intriguing minds into other areas of the subject of photography. Therefore I'm sure it will prove a valuable addition to my bookshelf for my remaining years as a photography student.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good exam book, 21 Jan 2009
By A. Luker (Ascot, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
you certainly need time to read this book but if you use it as an exam guide like me its really useful!
Good clarity and pace and the index helps to find any photographic area that you want to research further.
Quite a bulky book but contains a lot of information, all which is useful!
