TextPublisher: London : Bloomsbury Visual Arts, 2020Description: 230 pages : illustrations (black and white, and colour) ; 22 cmContent type: text | still image Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781350049314 (pbk.) :Subject(s): Photography -- Philosophy | Photography | PhotographyDDC classification: 770.1 Summary: Those born since the digital revolution, seem to have the hardest time re-imagining the role of photography in the world today. Thinking of photography as a visual language is the way this book addresses this challenge. Instead of an approach to understanding photography defined by established education's need to grade, mark and rate both work and students throughout their learning journey, the approach taken here develops the metaphor of 'learning a language' when attempting to explain what photography can be and what it can give a student in transferable creative and life skills. This begins with challenging the student pre-conception that successful photography is defined by the successful single image or 'the good photograph'.
