John Beaver

Photography (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

Physics and art in focus

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, whilst also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art. The topics centre around hands-on applications, illustrated by photographic processes that are inexpensive and easily accessible to students. The text includes a versatile new process developed by the author. A central theme is the connection between the physical interaction of light and matter on the one hand, and the artistry of the photographic processes and their results on the other.

Although written at an undergraduate level, the text explores a general discussion of the relation between science and art that is of interest to readers of all backgrounds and levels of expertise.

Teachers of introductory physics or astronomy at either the advanced high school or undergraduate level are a key audience for this book as well as photographers at all levels of expertise, particularly those interested in alternative photographic processes. The text fits within interdisciplinary courses in university physics and art departments.

Autorenporträt

John Beaver is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at the Fox Cities
Campus of University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, where he teaches physics, astronomy,
photography and interdisciplinary courses. His published work in astronomy is
on the topics of spectrophotometry of comets and gaseous nebulae, and
multi-colour photometry of star clusters. He has exhibited photographs in many
solo shows and juried competitions in Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, Louisiana,
Missouri, Minnnesota, Oregon, Colorado, and Barcelona. He has had joint shows
with artists Judith Waller, Diana Ludwig, Dawn Patel and Teresa Patrick. Beaver
has long been involved in art-science collaborations (many with artist Judith
Waller) in the classroom, at academic conferences, and in art galleries and planetaria.
