Reframing Photography: Theory and Practice

Even though this was supposed to be just for school I am definitely going to keep it and refer back to it it is a great book has a lot of things on photography especially if you're new at it I definitely think the teachers should get this for their class and if you wanna know about photography at the history of it and art of it I would definitely buy it

Not sure why this text is mostly white space - poor layout and tiny text. Disappointing.

This is a fantastic teaching tool, as well as a wonderful survey of image-making practices that extends beyond photography. The practical "how-to" diagrams and photos are an interesting creative project in and of themselves. I highly recommend this book to anyone teaching photography, or to any artist that might be interested in the technical aspects of photography, or interested in the conceptual exploration of the photographic image.

This is a great photography book. It breaks down the basics and tell you every thing you need to know. I used it in a photo class and it was a great tool.

Good deal, the book was in good condition.

For my own pedagogical practice this book and its attendant website have become indispensable. If you are looking for fresh ways to inspire students about photography or just curious yourself about the history and processes this is a must own book.

I've been using this book for several years and I have seen the direct results in the work produced by students. There is truly something for everyone in this book and students are able to not only acquire essential skills, but are also challenged by the provocative projects, suggestions, examples, and other resources provided in the text.The combination of theory and practice is something I feel very strongly about, and until I adopted this text, I was forced to use a "technical" book and supplement courses with a "theory" text. The marvel of this book is that it's no longer necessary for students to buy an additional text, or force the instructor to constantly redirect them to additional resources. That said, the book also helps to initiate curiosity, so if students do want to pursue something further, the book and the website can be a great jumping-off point for bigger projects.I'm redesigning my syllabi this year and using the book more directly. The teaching tools and website are an excellent enhancement, and the authors' attention to detail and constant updating makes it current and viable for any mixed media, photography, or foundation courses. I can be applied to literally any level of study.The website is invaluable and I've used it in a multitude of ways: directing student undergraduates to graduate programs, showing the videos to introduce the students to practicing artists who testing the boundaries of photographic media, and the readings are a perfect complement to any course.I rank this book as one of my favorites!

I am at the beginning stages of my teaching career and I cannot tell you how important a resource this book has been for me. I am always striving to incorporate critical theory into my classrooms and encourage my students to take a more interdisciplinary approach to image-making and Reframing Photography perfectly marries the theoretical with the technical - thank you for putting it together!This is a timely book given the ever-changing state of photography - it encourages readers to embrace the advancements, but not to the detriment of historical processes. The authors maintain an appreciation for the past with projects referring to historical processes and writings, and at the same time, remain firmly grounded in the now - this book is refreshing and a must read for anyone interested in the medium.

An excellent book and terrific value. Packed with content, it covers a massive range of things photographic - from the most practical to some really good essays on photographers, photographic genres etc.
