Photography: A Way of Seeing - eBook

A book on photography for the beginner, the passionate amateur, and the fine art print photographer. From capture through fine art print to your home or gallery wall.

Written by Steven CW Taylor, Founder and Principal Artist at Ubuntu Fine Art Gallery, who has spent the last twelve years as a photographer and printmaker, printing at scale for his own gallery and learning the intimate technical detail of the craft while working at the Center for Excellence in Surface Imaging at Thomas Jefferson University.

This may be the most complete photography manual on the market. It carries a deep technical intimacy with the camera, an explicit technological fluency with fine art printmaking, and the philosophy of An Openness to Encounter that undergirds it all. Most photography books focus on a single aspect of the genre. This one goes the entire distance.

By the end, I hope that every reader comes away with their own unique Way of Seeing, whether they reach for a camera or for a printer. Everybody can learn something here. This book is the required reading for both my Fine Art Printing for Photographers class and my Beginner Photography class, each running for 120 minutes and held in person at Ubuntu Fine Art Gallery.
