Fully updated and revised, this seminal book explains and
illustrates what photographs are, how they were made and used in
the past and, more particularly, what their place is in the
creative arts and visual communications world of today. Paul Hill
looks at photographs as modes of expression and explores the
diversity of approaches taken when creating photographs and what
these mean for a photographer's practice and purpose. It emphasises
the importance of contextualisation to the understanding of the
medium, diving into the ideas behind the images and how the camera
transforms and influences how we see the world. With an impressive
collection of 200 full colour images from professional
practitioners and artists, it invites us to consider the
foundations of photography's past and the digital revolution's
impact on the creation and dissemination of photographs today.
Essential reading for all students of photography, it is an
invaluable guide for those who want to make a career in
photography, covering most areas of photographic practice from
photojournalism to fine art to personal essay.
