Reframing Photography: Theory and
Practice
To fully understand photography, it is essential to study both the theoretical and the
technical.
In an accessible yet complex way, Rebekah Modrak and Bill Anthes explore photo-
graphic theory, history, and technique to bring photographic education up to date with
contemporary photographic practice. Reframing Photography is a broad and inclusive
rethinking of photography that will inspire students to think about the medium across
time periods, across traditional themes, and through varied materials. Intended for both
beginning and advanced students, for art and non-art majors, and for practicing artists,
Reframing Photography compellingly represents four concerns common to all photo-
graphic practice:
NN Vision
NN Light/Shadow
NN Reproductive Processes
NN Editing/Presentation/Evaluation.
Each part includes an extensive and thoughtful essay, providing a broad cultural context
for each topic, alongside discussion of photographic examples. Essays introduce the
work of artists who use a diverse range of subject matter and a variety of processes
(straight photography, social documentary, digital, mixed media, conceptual work, etc.),
examine artists’ conceptual and technical choices, describe cultural implications and
artistic influences, and analyze how these concerns interrelate. Following each essay,
the part continues with a “how-to” chapter that describes a fascinating range of related
photographic equipment, materials, and methods through concise explanations and
clear diagrams.
Key features:
Rebekah Modrak is a studio artist whose work has been shown at The Sculpture
Center, Carnegie Museum of Art, and Kenyon College. She is an Associate Professor
in the School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan, and has also taught
courses involving photography, animation, mixed media, and photographic history as an
Associate Professor in the Department of Art at The Ohio State University.
Bill Anthes is Associate Professor of Art History at Pitzer College. He has received
awards from the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center, the Center for the Arts in
Society at Carnegie Mellon University, the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural
Heritage, and the Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation Art Writers Grant Program.
