Books Teaching Photography

Finally, a book for the teachers! This new, 376 page book by Rand and Zakia is a must for teachers or those who are contemplating becoming a teacher.

It is aimed at assisting tutors to help students expand their knowledge and abilities in the techniques, the aesthetics, and the way photography fits into a greater world of knowledge, by providing ideas for inspiring conversations and critiques, as well as insightful pointers regarding the learner's perspective in this new world.

Teaching Photography approaches the many aspects of photographic education from a point of view that stresses the how and why of the education and not the technique to be taught. It offers new ideas on critiques, evaluations, and planning while also incorporating student artwork demonstrating direct results from critiquing sessions - the good and the bad!

Spread over 14 chapters, it is like a resumption of Teacher Training, covering wide topics like Learning, Techniques, Creativity Education,

Problem Solving, Critique, Measurement, Evaluation, 'The Environment', Planning, Support and the Profession. All chapters are uniquely relevant to the world of photography and the teaching of your subject.We highly recommend it.
