This brief text is designed to help both beginning and advanced students of photography better develop and articulate
thoughtful criticism. Organized around the major activities of criticism (describing, interpreting, evaluating,
and theorizing), Criticizing Photographs provides a clear framework and vocabulary for students' critical skill
development. The fourth edition includes new black and white and color images, updated commentary, a completely
revised chapter on theory that offers a broad discussion of digital images, and an expanded chapter eight on studio
critiques and writing about photographs, plus examples of student writing and critique.
