Product Description
Product Description
Portraiture is one of the most enduring and compelling of photographic genres. Above all others, it signifies a relationship between the photographer and the subject that is not explicit in other genres. What is common to all portrait photographs is a situational element. In portrait photography, the presence of the photographerâs gaze also becomes an integral part of what the picture is about: the activity of one person looking, manifested in a moment that can feel like the blink of an eye or a small eternity. This book offers for the first time a complete text that combines the theoretical with the practical.
About the Author
Born in 1940, Roswell Angier was motivated to take up photography as a way to escape graduate school. Since that time he has enjoyed a rewarding career as both photographer and educator. Photography projects have included shooting strippers in Boston and recording the Navajo people in America's southwest. He has worked as a freelance magazine photographer, been a partner in a co-operative photographic agency in New York, and is currently a member of faculty at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Many of his images are held in prestigious collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Smithsonian Museum, the Addison Gallery of American Art and private collections around the world. He is represented by Tom Gitterman Gallery in New York.
