Description:

Philip Perkis, accomplished photographer and educator, presents the long-awaited second edition of "Teaching Photography, Notes Assembled"—the slim, unassuming book that has been an unexpected hit in photography circles. This edition features an additional chapter and is co-published by OB Press and RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press, both affiliated with Rochester Institute of Technology. RIT offers one of the nation’s oldest and most-respected degree programs in photographic arts and sciences. In "Teaching Photography," Perkis draws from four decades of teaching experience at such institutions as Pratt Institute, Cooper Union, and School of Visual Arts in New York. He has distilled his knowledge into this volume of thoughts on visual perception, successful photo lesson exercises, and practical teaching advice for photography instructors. Perkis expresses his acute observations as a means of provoking discussion and inspiring the younger generation of photography students and educators. ISBN 0-9759651-1-5
