This groundbreaking survey of significant work and ideas focuses on
imagemakers who have pushed beyond the boundaries of photography as
a window on our material world. Through interviews with more than
40 key artists, this book explores a diverse group of curious
experimentalists who have propelled the medium's evolution by
visualizing their subject matter as it originates from their minds
eye. Many favor the historical techniques commonly known as
alternative photographic processes, but all these makers
demonstrate that the real alternative is found in their mental
approach and not in their use of physical methods. Within this
context, photographer and photography historian Robert Hirsch
outlines the varied approaches these artists have utilized to
question conventional photographic practices, to convey internal
realities, and to examine what constitutes photographic reality.
Hirsch explores the half-century evolution of these concepts and
methodologies and their popularity among contemporary imagemakers
who are merging digital and analog processes to express what was
thought to be photographically inexpressible. Read an interview
