Standard Six (Std6) [or 7]

some of the Standard Six
[12Dec20] There are currently (at least) four books pages on the site — the original books; the sources pages; books for I&P; and the Standard Six. This needs sorting out, but in the meantime, this is a crosslink.
[16Dec] A solution is under way. A new WP website has been created, BAPhotRef (perhaps I should have gone for Refs, but it's too late now, that £1 is spent). I am in the process of transferring all the data from sources and will then carry on the capture the indeces of the Standard Six, the course recommended reading list and other favourites and new acquisitions - WP is quite good at searching but a more useful display of the results might be sought.
BAPhotRef
[16Mar21] One to add to the Std6 is Graham Clarke's The photograph. It has the winning combination of a pedigree; a (brief-ish) opinion on most things; and a comprehensive index.
[5Aug20] This all started with the preamble to I&P which, when addressing genre research, gave the example of typology. Not a word I had heard before in this context and so I looked it up…
And realised that there are some books I return to repeatedly and most of them are, of course, on the shelf above my desk (see right, or elswhere, depending on the size and orientation of your screen). These are: Mordrak, Barrett, Bull, Bate, la Grange and Wells. Probaby in that order.
- Modrak, R. & Anthes, B (2011) Reframing photography: theory and practice. Oxford: Routledge.
- Barrett, T. (2012) Criticising photographs, an introduction to understanding images. 5th ed. NY: McGraw Hill.
- Bull, S. (2010) Photography. Abingdon,Oxon: Routledge.
- Bate, D. (2016) Photography, the key concepts. London: Bloomsbury Publishing.
- La Grange, A. (2005) Basic critical theory for photographers. Burlington, MA: Focal Press.
- Wells, L. (2009) Photography: a critical introduction. (4th edn.). Abingdon: Routledge.
- Clarke, G. (1997) The photograph. Oxford: OUP
I would add Sue Sontag, if she had an index.
There is a second tier:
- Hacking, J (ed.) (2012) Photography, the whole story. New York: Prestel Publishing.
- Marien, M.W. (2012) 100 Ideas that changed photography. London: Laurence King Publishing.
