Sport Photography � How it should be done�Review date: 2004-12-05 Rating: 10 out of 10The thing that inspired me to buy 'The Art of Sport' was the shear simplicity of the images. The images have a brief description of the methods / situations that they were taken in.
Well laid out and - large - reproductions of the images. Far more images than words in this book. The book is well bound and has a distinct feeling of quality. Would look good on any coffee table.
I have a quick look at the images just before I go out to take sports pictures, hoping that some of the vision / talent / art will rub off on me.
Well worth reading if you are an aspiring sports photographer. It certainly reprogrammed my picture taking to achieve a more artistic approach to the images that I am capturing.A good bookReview date: 2002-12-04 Rating: 6 out of 10This isn't a bad book. It does contain some very good and memorable images. However, it also contains some poorer ones, that maybe shouldn't have been included. As a motorsport photographer myself, I would be very critical of the F1 images in the book, which are very poor. Maybe it is because Reuters snappers tend to try their hand at all types of sport and photojournalism, whereas a dedicated agency, such as Allsport, have people covering 1 or 2 sports only.The text accompanying the images is good in some circumstances, letting us know how the snapper came upon the picture or what he/she had to do to capture the image. Some of the text on the other hand is rather dull, not giving any insight into the image.
All in all, not a bad book and I'd recommend it to those who like their sports photography to be different to the norm.
