    Great information- it’s a must
    First time reading Tom Ang’s book. I love it. It’s a pretty book, and informational. If you are starting to learn about the history of photography, techniques, etc. this is a must. Highly recommended

  7. A. Santos

    Changing the narrative of photo history
    I liked that there were photographers of color and women listed in the beginning. So many history of photo books cater to the Caucasian version of photo history that all others are ignored. Glad there are books like this one that are changing the narrative.

    Photographers, don waste your money
    Not what I was thinking. Very small book. At the same price almost, I could have gotten the. Vogue book. I’m a photographer and this just fell between the f stops for me. No pics really. If you took art history in college don’t bother buying. Honestly some photos weren’t eh(but art is an opinion).

    My son is studying A Level Art and photography is a big component of his course work. Tom Ang has written many books on the subject and he’s the go-to authority on photographic technique. This book covers the story of photography, and contains sections on understanding and executing brilliant photographs. It’s packed full of useful information from advanced digital cameras specs to the art of composition. Whatever your level, if you have an interest in taking pictures, this book will answer your questions.As with all DK books, this is beautifully produced in hardback and slots into a cool, faux-leather bound box.

    TOM ANGさんのPHOTOGRAPHY:Definitive Visual Historyは写真やカメラの歴史を学べると認識していますが、この本では歴史やアート、メカニカル面を含めた基礎・基本を英語や写真の初心者でも図や写真を見ながら学べます。雰囲気的な印象かも知れませんが、写真が面白く楽しくなります。いたずらに網羅的にならずテクニック面に走らず、写真の基礎基本を楽しく学べます。もう少し歴史に触れたい場合は前著も面白そうです。
