The Siege of Sarajevo remains the longest siege in modern European
history, lasting three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad
and over a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. Reporting the
Siege of Sarajevo provides the first detailed account of the
reporting of this siege and the role that journalists played in
highlighting both military and non-military aspects of it. The book
draws on detailed primary and secondary material in English and
Bosnian, as well as extensive interviews with international
correspondents who covered events in Sarajevo from within siege
lines. It also includes hitherto unpublished images taken by the
co-author and award-winning photojournalist, Paul Lowe. Together
Morrison and Lowe document a relatively short but crucial period in
both the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the city of Sarajevo
and the profession of journalism. The book provides crucial
observations and insights into an under-researched aspect of a
critical period in Europe's recent history.
Autobiographical memory and photography have been inextricably
linked since the first photographs appeared during the 19th
century. These links have often been described from each other's
discipline in ways that often have led to misunderstandings about
the complex relationships between them. The Handbook of Research on
the Relationship Between Autobiographical Memory and Photography
covers many aspects of the multiple relationships between
autobiographical memory and photography such as the idea that
memory and photography can be seen as forms of mental time and the
effect photography has on autobiographical memory. Covering key
topics such as identity, trauma, and remembrance, this major
reference work is ideal for industry professionals, sociologists,
psychologists, artists, researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, educators, and students.
What makes some photographs stay in the memory forever? Sometimes
it's the subject matter alone, but more often it's the skill of the
artists who took them. The premise of this magnificent book is
quite simple: take 100 leading examples of the work of the world's
greatest photographers, and a distinguished academic will describe
how they achieved their effects to allow you to recreate them
yourself. Discover how to compose 'decisive moments' like
Cartier-Bresson, use long exposures for landscapes like Simon
Norfolk, and experiment with flash in daylight like Rineke
Dijkstra.The images are arranged thematically, with engaging
analysis of each image and a description of its technical make-up,
along with a biography of each artist. The book showcases 100 of
the greatest images in the history of the art and will provide an
indispensable guide to the technicalities behind the well-known
masterpieces and hidden gems in the world of photography. The
photographers and their images were carefully selected by award
winning photographer, educator and academic Paul Lowe, whose years
of experience as a photojournalist and as a teacher gives unique
and detailed insight into the working methods of these great image
makers.

politics of the practice. Carefully chosen, international case
studies represent a cross section of key photographers, practices
and periods within photojournalism, enabling students to understand
the central questions and critical concepts. Illustrated with a
range of photographs and case material, including interviews with

Combining case studies with theoretical and philosophical insights,
this book explores the role of photography in representing conflict
and genocide, both during and after the break-up of Yugoslavia.
Concentrating on the photographer, this book considers the practice
of photojournalism rather than simply in terms of its consumption
and use by the media. The experiences and working methods of
photographers in the field are analysed, showing how practitioners
conceptualised their work and responded to larger questions about
neutrality and moral responsibility. Presenting this 'active' form
of witness, author Paul Lowe investigates a crucial ethical paradox
faced by photojournalists. Moving beyond the end of the Yugoslav
Wars in 2001, this book also considers the therapeutic and
validating potential of photography for survivors, featuring
photographers whose work centres on memory and reconciliation.
Based on archival research, close reading and discourse analyses of
photographs, and interviews with a range of international
photographers, this book explores how photography from this period
has been used and remediated in editorial photojournalism, fine art
documentary and advocacy photography. This book will be of interest
to scholars in the history of photography, art and visual culture,
and photojournalism.
A Chronology of Photography presents a fresh perspective on the
medium by taking a purely chronological approach to its history,
tracing the complex links between technological innovations, social
changes, and artistic interventions. Structured around a central
timeline that charts the development of photography from early
experiments with optics right up to the present-day explosion of
digital media, it features sumptuous reproductions of key
photographs, together with commentaries and contextual information
about the social, political and cultural events of the period in
which they were taken. Special technical sections that explain how
the development of new camera technology impacted the practice of
photography, while feature spreads highlight important themes and
influential practitioners. Covering a wide selection of genres,
styles and artists, it is invaluable as a comprehensive guide to
photography in all its different forms and functions.
The photographer behind Life magazine's first ever all-color
photographic essay, Ernst Haas made-and captured-history as an
early adopter of Kodachrome film. The Austrian-born artist had
already established himself as a black and white photographer when
he moved to America in 1951. But as a member of the renowned Magnum
agency, he transformed the genre with his color-saturated images,
the perfect medium for capturing America's geographic and cultural
landscapes. From desert storms, Route 66 gas stations, and Las
Vegas neon to rolling prairie, dilapidated farms, small-town
parades, and city sidewalks, Haas' perfectly composed images,
contain a distinct pictorial language, suffused with poetry,
pattern, and light. At the same time his pictures communicate a
journalist's point of view, whether the subject is rural poverty,
suburban comfort, or the myth of the American West. This remarkable
book offers a vision of America that feels both poignantly distant
and reassuringly familiar.
