New Ways of Seeing
The Democratic Language of Photography
Introduction
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 approach this book adopts to addresses this challenge. Considering photography in this way 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.
Challenging Preconceptions
This begins with challenging the pre-conception that successful photography is defined by the successful single image or the good photograph.
Emphasizing Narrative and Visual Storytelling
The book emphasises the central role of narrative and visual storytelling through a technique of photosketching to develop the building blocks of visual creativity and ultimately to craft successful bodies of photographic work.
Learning and Teaching Photography
New Ways of Seeing explains how to both learn and teach photography as a visual language, appropriate for both professionals and students working today.
