Photography is ubiquitous. The visual image is the predominant form
of communication. Arguably it is a very democratic medium, since
billions of people all over the planet take photographs on their
phones, and digital storage means that expensive printing is not
necessary and therefore the practice is not prohibitive.
Photography is important to political and social movements and
connects people in emotionally meaningful relationships. This book
explores the myriad ways in which photographs can be used: to
document events, places or things; to consolidate personal
identity; to pose a challenge to an idea or regime; to animate the
inanimate (in other words, to breathe life into objects); to
capture the fleeting and transitory; to create stories; to reveal
what may be taken for granted, including seeing social practices;
to enhance our perception and allow us to notice previously
unnoticed details; to consolidate relationships; to represent the
overlooked or marginalised; to commemorate; to authenticate; to
tantalise. All these modes of photography have different
possibilities, different intentions and different effects.
