This book wasn't required for my photography classes, but recommended. What a big help this book is on understanding art/photo images and writing critiques for my photography classes! Highly Recommended!
I have read lot of books on photography techniques, but never a book on thoughts and interpretation of images. This book has made me think beyond the composition and technical aspect of creating an image.
This book is a must read for anyone seriously studying Fine Art Photography!!! Terry Barrett is arguably the leading author on photography critique and his book, Criticizing Photographs is considered the gold standard by many artists.
I bought this for a class. It was indispensible in learnign about the history of Photography.
its in a very very good condition! looks like a brand new one!
good for photographers, absolute must have
Excellent insight into reading photos.
Academic book that is what this is, which sometimes they can be enjoyable, not this one. It does provide insight into the critical world of judging photography. I enjoy this book, but don't want people running out to buy and leaving me hate mail because they hate it. I could not recommend to a friend, for it might put them asleep.
