PhotoSpeak: A Guide to the Ideas, Movements, and Techniques of Photography, 1839 to the Present
An informative, user-friendly resource in which the complexities of photographic techniques ? from the calotype to digital imaging and beyond ? are explained in clear, straight language. The international groups and movements of photography are identified in an effective who-when-where-what format, while the aesthetic concepts and critical language used to explain (and often obscure) photography over the last century and a half are demystified in illuminating, enjoyable prose. An illustrated timeline and a chart of all the major movements complement the text and the original selection of images. A truly great resource!
