Books on how to evaluate photographs and galleries in NYC

Perhaps when going to exhibitions of any art medium, she should ask the question what images she likes or finds interesting and then to write down why. This may help her to develop a critical appreciation to art in general.

My concern is that although she is at Parson's which has a good reputation, so far, there has not been any technical approach to the teaching in the courses she already has undertaken such as drawing.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Often the first year for art students is dedicated to foundation studies before they are allowed to declare or interview for a major. If Parsons is like other art colleges she should get a chance to experiment before committing to a course of study.

Edited to add: Your daughter's upcoming sophomore year looks like a blast. She'll be learning analog and digital photography at the same time in two 3 credit courses, plus photo theory and history. If she likes photography she'll be getting a lot of it!

I don't know, if the student happens to have an interest in portraiture, especially of performers, she might want to check it out.

Hip-Hop - Conscious, Unconscious - Exhibition at Fotografiska New York | Fotografiska New York

"Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious" explores the people, places, and things that hip-hop has delivered unto us.

That's a great point. We had drawing, painting, sculpture, design, and ceramics classes. Almost made a hard turn after discovering the primitiveness/beauty of Raku pottery, but stayed with photography.

You were just aching to use that half understood term? Even if it didn’t fit.
One could say that in the context it’s was the complete opposite of maximalist.
 

I just know that I’ve been gravely disappointed by Fotografiska on more than one occasion and in both Stockholm and New York.
