Summary: Art of Seeing 2
Review: I really enjoyed viewing The Art of Seeing 2, by Reuters. Coming from a journalism point of view, the photographs in this book are stunning! The book truly does capture some of the most significant moments in recent history. The photos range from important sports and celebrity moments to symbolic or historical political statements.
Since the photos are taken from an agency that shoots primarily photo journalistic photos, some people may not appreciate some of the photos. The true beauties of these images lie in the capture of the moment and emotion and truth. I really enjoyed many of the political and war photos, very in your face. Some of them were shocking, taking me back in realization and touched me at the same time. In a solely artistic sense, the pictures had a great sense of composition and lighting however they are documentary. This is definitely not printed to act as a fine art book, more of just a collection of incredible pieces of journalistic work. The book definitely demonstrates the talent pool found in the world of photo-journalists.
