The fount of all wisdom August 11, 2010
A. J. Kelly (Wales (Pays de Galles))
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you are studying photography as a student (or even just as a keen photographer) this is the book for you. For students this is the source book and sacred reference for a constant stream of Distinctions. So cool to have all the best reference sources in one handy book. Need to write a seriously arty and learned essay? No problem, a good hour of skimming and all the references and quotes are yours!
The real joy of this book though is that it's a real voyage of discovery, and jumping off point, for those of us who actually take that study seriously. It's a superb read, a distillation of much photographic and semiotic wisdom into one book, and through that read it leads, internet-like, to a myriad links to other sources and essays.
If you have any interest in photographic analysis, and to be honest, you'd hardly be reading this review otherwise, buy it.
Indispensable book on photographic theory February 18, 2010

This book is fabulous! Gives you a solid breakdown of some of the most important essays ever written in photographic theory. It takes some intense concentration but the read is both rewarding in the end and beneficial to those who are wanting to become a photographer or critique in conceptual art.

This is a very good outline of many of the main themes in photography - particularly if you are studying photography or visual media in a cultural context. Difficult but rewarding!
