| Summary |
"This fully revised and updated third edition of Photography: A Critical Introduction retains its position as the only introductory textbook to examine the key debates in photographic theory and place them in their social and political contexts. It thus integrates photographic theory with photographic history and critically engages with debates about the nature of photographic seeing. The third edition retains the thematic structure and text features of previous editions but also expands coverage on photojournalism and digital imaging." "Illustrated with 100 black and white photographs and 16 pages of colour plates, it includes images from Bill Brandt, Susan Derges, Rineke Dijkstra, Lee Friedlander, Fran Herbello, Hannah Hoch, Dorothea Lange, Lee Miller, Martin Parr, Ingrid Pollard, Jacob Riis, Alexander Rodchenko, Sebastiao Salgado and Andres Serrano."--BOOK JACKET. |
