Harald Mante, one of the most distinguished teachers of the photographic
arts in Germany and an internationally recognized master of
photography, brings his teaching to us in the English language for the
first time in more than 30 years. In The Photograph Mante explains the
elements that are essential to achieving the highest level of visual
design in photographs. This book is geared toward the serious
intermediate and advanced photographer who strives to create outstanding
images.
While
a deep understanding of photographic techniques is required in order to
master photography, technical knowledge alone is not sufficient to
create outstanding images. Beyond the technical aspects, the crucial
elements that determine the quality and strength of a photograph are the
content of the image and its organization within the image frame. This
is where the "art" of photography comes into play. Truly creative
photography is based upon knowledge and mastery of design, and insight
into how the viewer perceives images. The creative photographer can
exploit this knowledge and push image making in new directions.
In
this book, Mante explores the principles of line, shape, point, color,
contrast, composition, and design in significantly greater depth and at a
higher level than most any book available to date. He also covers a
number of techniques to enhance expressiveness in a photograph and
support the photographer's intentions.
These
in-depth lessons are beautifully illustrated with more than 750 images
from Mante's own portfolio, including over 160 diagrams.
The
Photograph is a unique book that is sure to become an invaluable
reference for anyone involved in photography-from the hobbyist to the
professional; for both the digital and analog photographer; and for
those practicing, studying, criticizing, or administering in the visual
arts.
This
second edition has been extensively revised and updated, and includes 60
new images and illustrations. Also included are new chapters that cover
analyzing shapes and colors and a discussion of the square image
format.
Born in Berlin in 1936, Harald Mante studied graphic design and painting at Werkkunstschule Wiesbaden. He taught Photographic Design at Dortmund Polytechnic and at the European Art Academy in Trier, as well as many seminars and workshops. Professor Mante has authored numerous art books and textbooks. His photographic work has been exhibited in museums and private collections world-wide, and his books and calendars have become collector's items.
