A practical framework for choosing photographs with purpose

Picture Editing addresses the often-overlooked work that happens after photographs are made: comparing images, deciding what to keep, and building a reliable selection process. Tom Ang organizes the guide around practical setup, adaptable workflow, speed and accuracy, and specific selection strategies. Visual exercises form a central part of its approach to identifying the strongest image, while later sections bring ethical and moral questions into the decision-making process. Checklists and further reading extend the book’s emphasis on repeatable working methods. Fully revised from Ang’s earlier Picture Editing, this edition presents image choice as both a technical and editorial responsibility.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photographers building a more systematic image-selection workflow
  • Photojournalism students considering editorial and ethical choices
  • Image-makers who produce large sets of photographs and need selection tools
