In a brand-new approach, this book presents photography in all its
principal forms of experience, to portray the unique
characteristics of this accessible and universally appealing
medium. Arranged chronologically, legendary photographs are
discussed alongside photobooks that represent a significant
contribution towards photography, as well as important exhibitions
that marked a shift in outlook, values and approach. In art
history, particular works are usually cited as examples of specific
styles; here photographs are given as indicative of art movements,
which often developed precisely because of these examples. Among
the works included are many that have had a profound impact across
the globe, so circumventing or at least weakening the usual
European-American emphasis. This guide is an inclusive and diverse
account of the contributions of photographers from around the world
from the birth of photography to the present day. Featuring
stunning reproductions throughout with short essays and key
references on each work by the widely respected photography
academic and specialist David Bate, this title is set to become one
of the definitive references on the subject and will appeal not
only to readers seeking an introduction, but also to those more
familiar with the medium. With 110 illustrations in colour
