Gain a new perspective on photography in this personally guided
introduction to photographic images and what they mean by one of
the leading writers and curators of our time On Photographs is
destined to become an instant classic of photography writing.
Rejecting the conventions of chronology and the heightened status
afforded to 'classics' in traditional accounts of the history of
the medium, Campany's selection of photographs is an expertly
curated and personal one - mixing fine art prints, film stills,
documentary photographs, fashion editorials and advertisements. In
this playful new take on the history of photography, anonymous
photographers stand alongside photography pioneers, 20th-century
talents and contemporary practitioners. Each photograph is
accompanied by Campany's highly readable commentary. Putting the
sacred status of authorship to one side, he strives to guide the
reader in their own interpretation and understanding of the image
itself. In a visual culture in which we have become accustomed to
not looking, Campany helps us see, in what is both an accessible
introduction for newcomers and a must-have for photography
aficionados.
