Reddit reviews The Photograph As Contemporary Art (World of Art)

hmm if you are interested in conceptual photography I would read this [book] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Photograph-Contemporary-Art-World/dp/0500204012/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394500027&sr=8-1&keywords=photography+as+contemporary+art) I think it will give you a broader notion of what conceptual photography is as well as introduce you to some great artists.

I know a lot of people on here are discouraging you from doing it, and there are some good reasons not go. However, I would disagree with any one who says you can't learn anything from going to school for photography. There is always more to learn. I may be naive, but every minute has been worth it for me. As a photography student my work has deepened and become much clearer. I have to add though my goals as a photographer might be different from other posters here. I am planning to continue on as a graduate student in photography and teach, rather than pursuing a commercial career. You are playing with style and different camera effects which is fun and great to do. Many of your photos look like advertising shots. Going to school for photography, at least where I am at, is more about photography as conceptual art. Rochester Institute of Technology has a great reputation and a ton of different photo majors. If you want to go outside the United States, photography in Germany is huge, particularly the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Andreas Gursky, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and Axel Hütte all came out of that school. I would also recommend this book. I hope this helps, good luck.
