Published in 1972 and based on a BBC television programme of the same name, this is a very influential text on art criticism. Although the book and programme make the same case, they do so in slightly different ways, and the programme is well worth watching. For the photographer, the book has the advantage of putting photography in the context of western art. For the student new to critical the...

The traditional photographic process has been guided by a relatively fixed workflow: capture, develop, and print. With the advent of digital photography, however, the photographic print has largely become a relic of the past. Yet modern digital photography continues to focus on creating a single, final still image suitable for printing. This implicit association between a display pixel and a st...

Medical photography is the state of the art for the documentation of dermatological disease. Experienced photographers take pictures of the most typical skin lesions in order to assist the clinician in assessing disease morphology and activity. In this study, we present 6 individuals with a variety of dermatoses and the expression of the patients' emotions. The patients were asked to show their...

Computational photography is an emergent multidisciplinary field that combines topics in optics, computer graphics, image and signal processing. The objective is usually the development of new algorithms or systems to capture images overcoming the limitations of conventional techniques. Images are not simply captured as 2D projections of a scene, they are rather coded before reaching the sensor...

The digital camera has brought a revolutionary shift in the nature of photography, sweeping aside more than 150 years of technology based on the weird and wonderful photochemistry of silver halide crystals. Curiously, though, the camera itself has come through this transformation with remarkably little change. A digital camera has a silicon sensor where the film used to go, and there’s a new di...
