Enhanced Photography is not just for Photographers,
By Linda M. Paris (Seattle, WA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Enhanced Photography: Extending the Photographic Image (Hardcover)
I am a painter. I have recently started making art using the computer.The computer is simply just another tool. I stumbled upon this book and found it to be very inspiring. The artists use a variety of photographic, digital and mixed media techniques to achieve a work of art that is unique and beyond the process. There are excellant representations of the works and some very good explanations of the process for achieving the final results. I reccomend this book to mixed media artists, painters, photographers, and digital artists.

An excellent book for those in search of new approaches,
By egraig@erols.com (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Enhanced Photography: Extending the Photographic Image (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book for those interested in photographic work that goes beyond the straight print. It essentially represents a collection of work by a dozen or so artists who use photography as a starting point in the creation of their art. Their is some information on the processes the artisits employ but it is by no means a technical manual. If you are looking for inspiration this is an excellent place to start.The quality of the reproductions are excellent as is the text which ecompanies each artist's portfolio.

Great collage art, wonderful cofee table book,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Art of Enhanced Photography: Extending the Photographic Image (Hardcover)
This is a gorgeous coffee table book. I am mostly a rubber stamper and paper artist, and though I don't do much photography per se, I still love this book. It features a lot of collage art and ideas I know I can incorporate into my own designs. The book is broken into four sections including transformed, constructed, extended and digital images. Each section features the work of 4 or 5 different artists. Each artist was interviewed, explaining their techniques and thoughts on their artwork. Four different full-page examples of each artist's work follows, with captions giving information on title, size and techniques used. There is also a gallery featuring examples of seven other artists' work. Because I like to work with computer graphics I especially enjoyed the digital section. The still life with people in a soap bubble by Olivia Parker is really awesome. I love John Reuter's tile effect Polaroid transfers with nudes of as well. The winged pig of Maggie Taylor is another favorite. A handy glossary and index are included as well as a directory of artists with addresses. With such a variety of techniques and approaches to art this book is truly inspirational.
