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 and first revised in 2010, The Art of
Photography has sold well over 100,000 copies and has firmly
established itself as the most readable, understandable, and
complete textbook on photography. Featuring nearly 200 beautiful
photographs 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
who seek to make a personal statement through the medium of
photography. Without talking down to anyone or talking over
anyone's head, renowned photographer, teacher, and author Bruce
Barnbaum presents how-to techniques for both traditional and
digital approaches. In this newest edition of the book, Barnbaum
has included many new images and has completely revised the text,
with particular focus on two crucial chapters covering digital
photography: he revised a chapter covering the digital zone system,
and includes a brand-new chapter on image adjustments using digital
tools. There is also a new chapter discussing the concepts of "art
versus technique" and "traditional versus digital" approaches to
photography. Throughout the book, Barnbaum goes well beyond the
technical, as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive,
and creative aspects of photography so often avoided in other
books. Barnbaum is recognized as one of the world's finest
landscape and architectural photographers, and for decades has been
considered one of the best instructors in the field of photography.
This latest incarnation of his textbook--which has evolved, grown,
and been refined over the past 45 years--will prove to be an
ongoing, invaluable photographic reference for years to come. It is
truly the resource of choice for the thinking photographer.Topics
