This is an updated and newly revised edition of the classic book The Art of
Photography: An Approach to Personal expression (originally published in 1994),
which has often been described as the most readable, understandable, and
complete textbook on photography. With well over 100 beautiful photo-graphic
illustrations in both black-and-white and color, as well as numerous charts,
graphs, and tables, this book presents the world of photography to beginner,
intermediate, and advanced photographers seeking to make a personal statement
through the medium of photography. Without talking down to anyone, or talking
over anyone´s head, Barnbaum presents how to tech-niques 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 often avoided in other books.
