Providing a thorough and comprehensive introduction to the study of
photography, this second edition of Photography: The Key Concepts
has been expanded and updated to cover more fully contemporary
changes to photography. Photography is a part of everyday life;
from news and advertisements, to data collection and surveillance,
to the shaping of personal and social identity, we are constantly
surrounded by the photographic image. Outlining an overview of
photographic genres, David Bate explores how these varied practices
can be coded and interpreted using key theoretical models. Building
upon the genres included in the first edition - documentary,
portraiture, landscape, still life, art and global photography -
this second edition includes two new chapters on snapshots and the
act of looking. The revised and expanded chapters are supported by
over three times as many photographs as in the first edition,
examining contemporary practices in more detail and equipping
students with the analytical skills they need, both in their
academic studies and in their own practical work.An indispensable
guide to the field, Photography: The Key Concepts is core reading
for all courses that consider the place of photography in society,
within photographic practice, visual culture, art, media and
cultural studies.
