When he arrived in Paris, Koudelka had already produced two outstanding works of reportage. One documented the Prague Spring, while the other, on gypsies, could almost have been an ethnological study had its images not been charged with so much emotion. Unknown in 1970, he rose to become one of the most powerful photographers of his day.This book shows that in the lands of exile through which he travels with his amazing urge to see, Koudelka's own particular talent has been affirmed and expanded.

The historian of photography Helmut Gernsheim (1913-1995) owned the largest photography collection in the world. For the first time in half a century, both its sections are reunited in an exhibition catalog: the historical part, housed in the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, and the contemporary collection in the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen, Mannheim, Germany. With roughly 220 outstanding photographs, the catalog affords unprecedented insights into the matchless history of the Gernsheim Collection as well as a fascinating overview of the history of photography, beginning with the world's first photographic image by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in 1826.

Covers all the great Civil War photographers and their work and includes more than 150 photographs The first complete narrative history of American Civil War photography, this work brings together the remarkable experiences of M.B. Brady, Alexander Gardner, George S. Cook, and other photographers, many of whom had careers stretching back more than two decades to the dawn of American photography in 1839. Step by step throughout the war, American photographers, North and South, advanced their craft to new heights, acting independently, but seemingly as if part of one great team, moved to act by a spirit in their feet. With their wet plate cameras, they produced many firsts, including the first combat action photographs, the first photo essays of news events as they happened, and the first photos deemed so controversial that they were censored by the federal government. Zeller also examines the impact of photography on average Americans. Complete with more than 150 photographs, including previously unpublished Civil War images, as well as all known Civil War battle action photos, this work fills a huge gap in the history of America's greatest conflict. history know so well, men whose personal legacies became confused by myths and misinformation, were shrouded in obscurity, or have simply not been documented - until now.

This innovative volume explores the idea that while photographs are images, they are also objects, and this materiality is integral to their meaning and use. The case studies presented focus on photographs active in different institutional, political, religious and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of their use and the cultural formations in which they function make their 'objectness' central to how we should understand them. The book's contributions are drawn from disciplines including the history of photography, visual anthropology and art history, with case studies from a range of countries such as the Netherlands, North America, Australia, Japan, Romania and Tibet. Each shows the methodological strategies they have developed in order to fully exploit the idea of the materiality of photographic images.

Through their innocent eyes, children have always found the greatest pleasure in small things. Two-year-old Yzabella Skye Younger is no exception. Prompted by nothing but curiosity and a desire to alleviate her boredom, one day the two-year-old surprised everyone around her and found a way to allow others to view her unique perspective on life. Yzabella's year-long photographic journey began in the front of church at her baptism when she unintentionally started snapping pictures of herself while examining the camera on an iPhone. She vacationed in Sayulita, Mexico, and traveled from St. Louis, Missouri, to St. Martin, West Indies, to Grenada West Indies, and finally to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Along the way, Yzabella captured significant moments through the camera lens as her outlook on her surroundings grew and changed-right along with her. A View from My Perspective presents a collection of photographs that vividly portrays our world through a toddler's eyes and reminds all of us to rediscover the simple joys in life.

Photographs have shaped public perception and social meaning for the last one hundred and fifty years or more. This collection reexamines photographs and their social history, exploring the ideological, ethical, political, and aesthetic forces that inflect interpretation. The authors here trace shifting historical contexts, intentional or accidental interpretive distortions, and ambiguous and multiple meanings. Collectively, they seek to know "how" images can be believed, given our awareness of the uncertainty of meaning. The contributors in this collection believe the histories they convey are the stories of our lives. To know the photographs is to know ourselves--with all our ambiguities, distortions, and complexities on display.
