The Art Of Photography: An Approach To Personal Expression (PDF) WORK

I love this book. Through the author, you can see how to take your own personal expression of your subject(s) and capture it through this medium, photography. I love the size of the book, how Mr. Barnbaum presents his voice through his words and more importantly, through his photography.

Yet he goes well beyond the technical as he delves deeply into the philosophical, expressive, and creative aspects of photography.

If making is connecting, as Gauntlett claims, then art-making has a rightful place in the traditional social science research toolkit. As a platform for self-expression, art practices can foster deeper connections between research participants and researchers, fostering a more human approach to research.
