Triangulation
I recently reviewed the book "Image Makers, Image Takers", by Anne-Celine Jaeger. This book is made up of various interviews with Photographers such a Martin Parr and Tina barney, it reveals abit about their backgrounds and the type of photography the focus within. I also found the photographers approaches to the same genre of photography were all slightly different, but still all very informative and interesting. This book goes into much depth about each photographers original ideas and then follows them throughout the whole process of capturing planning, organising, taking the photographs, post production to then finally publishing them within a gallery, this helps understand the long, hard process it takes to get your work shown, but also help readers gain confidence and understanding to pursue this. It raises understanding of photographers technical journeys and creative journeys and gives further understanding to what curators and publishers are looking for within the industry. I found this book easy to follow and thought it gave valuable information, that may help new photographers it gives advice such as, "broaden your range, have a unique style and don't imitate others". I also love how this book contains photographs to help understand the context and pictures of photographers work. I would recommend this book to other new photographers, as i think it will help gain knowledge, tips and valuable research reference for the future.
