An overly academic world where the beautiful is ironic and the shocking is profound. The amazon blurb promised it would be helpful to a photographer doing portraiture but I didn't find it to be so. Helpful in impressing a college professor maybe... Individual books on the work of Arnold Newman, H. Cartier Bresson and Harry Callahan, were helpful. This is not.
