AlbakiReads Editorial

A practical look at the craft behind news photography

Framed as an insider’s manual, this revised guide examines photojournalism through the making and assessment of news images. Brian Horton draws on his AP experience alongside examples from other photojournalists, using more than 100 photographs from AP archives to discuss portraits, tableaux, sports coverage, and battlefield scenes. The book centers the creative decisions involved in producing effective news photographs while also addressing the development of an individual visual style. Its range of image types makes it a broad introduction to the professional concerns of photojournalistic work rather than a study of a single photographic specialty.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Working or aspiring news photographers
  • Readers interested in analyzing AP news images
