Studio: Photography and Emergent Technology - Nancy Howell-Koehler Photo Art Processes




If most of the books on the reading list are a DBAE approach, then Howell-Koehler's book Photo Art Processes represent a VCAE approach.

This is an excellent resource for the advanced photography artist who has a solid understanding of the processes of photography, and is now ready to move onto more 'artistic' endeavors.

The book does not offer much in the way of a how to approach on the science of photography, but provides an excellent resource for the artistic manipulation of photographs. It would provide an great companion for a mixed media book.

There are some excellent manipulations provided in the text.

Above are some examples of mixed media works involving manipulated photography. They are both vintage photographs.
