They appear to represent the \"real\" world and our first instinct is that they can be easily interpreted, which is not always the case with paintings. But this sense of familiarity with photography can lead to ambiguities. \u003cem\u003eLooking at Photographs\u003c\/em\u003e outlines key approaches to help us understand why a photograph captures our attention and moves us. This introductory reference is structured to help you develop new and more in-depth ways of looking at images, whether as a viewer or practitioner--or just out snapping with your smartphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything counts in a good photograph, even down to the smallest details.
