How to Read a Photograph: Understanding, Interpreting and Enjoying the Great Photographers

Deciphering the language of photography's masters.

If you're someone who's ever looked at a photograph and wanted to delve beyond its surface, "How to Read a Photograph" could be your next favorite guide. Ian Jeffrey does more than just talk about photography; he equips you with the insight to understand the artistry and historical contexts that elevate a photograph from a mere image to a masterpiece. It's like having an expert walk you through an invisible gallery, revealing the life and soul behind every frame.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
