Book Synopsis Photographer's Dialogue by : Steven M. Carothers
Download or read book Photographer's Dialogue written by Steven M. Carothers and published by Social Issues Resources Series. This book was released on 1989 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes one photograph important to its maker, while another becomes the public's choice? Exploring this question, PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIALOGUE presents the "Popular" & "Preferred" images of 30 American photographers, including Judy Dater, Elliot Erwitt, Robert Fichter, Sheila Metzner, Duane Michals, Arnold Newman, Joyce Tenneson, George Tice, Jerry Uelsmann & Edward Weston. "PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIALOGUE is a splendid catalog of a unique exhibition..." says eminent photographer Beaumont Newhall. "As a course in self-growth for photographers, & as a study for those with a more distant view of the medium who want to learn more about its charms, PHOTOGRAPHER'S DIALOGUE succeeds," extols PTN Publishing's George Schaub. The introduction by A. D. Coleman, noted media critic & author, explores the phenomena of expression & communication in art. In separate chapters the artists individually: define photography; debate the relationship between photography & reality; reveal if they ever try to promote a particular image; & describe their audience. The book documents the exhibit, "Photographer's Dialogue," which premiered at Florida's Boca Raton Museum of Art in October 1989. The exhibition will travel to various U. S. museums in 1991 & 1992.
Book Synopsis Conversations on Conflict Photography by : Lauren Walsh
Download or read book Conversations on Conflict Photography written by Lauren Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's image-saturated culture, the visual documentation of suffering around the world is more prevalent than ever. Yet instead of always deepening the knowledge or compassion of viewers, conflict photography can result in fatigue or even inspire apathy. Given this tension between the genre's ostensible goals and its effects, what is the purpose behind taking and showing images of war and crisis? Conversations on Conflict Photography invites readers to think through these issues via conversations with award-winning photographers, as well as leading photo editors and key representatives of the major human rights and humanitarian organizations. Framed by critical-historical essays, these dialogues explore the complexities and ethical dilemmas of this line of work. The practitioners relate the struggles of their craft, from brushes with death on the frontlines to the battles for space, resources, and attention in our media-driven culture. Despite these obstacles, they remain true to a purpose, one that is palpable as they celebrate remarkable success stories: from changing the life of a single individual to raising broad awareness about human rights issues. Opening with an insightful foreword by the renowned Sebastian Junger and richly illustrated with challenging, painful, and sometimes beautiful images, Conversations offers a uniquely rounded examination of the value of conflict photography in today's world.

Book Synopsis Another Way of Telling by : John Berger
Download or read book Another Way of Telling written by John Berger and published by Bloomsbury Paperbacks. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one of the most eloquent accounts of photography ever devised (originally published in 1982 and unavailable for many years), the writer John Berger and the photographer Jean Mohr set out to understand the fundamental nature of photography and how it makes its impact. Asking a range of questions 'What is a photograph?' 'What do photographs mean?' 'How can they be used?' they give their answers in terms of a photograph as 'a meeting place where the interests of the photographer, the photographed, the viewer and those who are using the photography are often contradictory'. From these beginnings they develop a theory of photography that has at its centre the form's essential ambiguity, arguing that photography is totally unlike a film and has nothing to do with reportage. Rather, it constitutes 'another way of telling'. The unique combination of critic and photographer results in a work that moves beyond the landmarks established by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag to establish a new theory of photography. This unique combination of words and pictures includes 230 photographs by Jean Mohr
Book Synopsis The Reflexive Photographer by : Rosie Miller
Download or read book The Reflexive Photographer written by Rosie Miller and published by . This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflexivity is complex - questioning amongst other things the familiar idea that "photography speaks for itself." This, the first book devoted to the subject, aims to help the viewer understand not only the photograph, but also its context and the practice of the photographer who made the work. The Reflexive Photographer examines a richly-illustrated variety of styles and methods of working - from documentary to found photographs, from the journal to performance, play, collaborative working and online photo-sharing - so providing a valuable new source of information, analysis and understanding of this significant photographic practice. Among the many varied photographers whose work is illustrated and freshly analysed in the book are Robert Frank, Daido Moriyama, Richard Mosse, Eadweard Muybridge, Ed Ruscha and Garry Winogrand.
Download or read book Unfinished Stories written by Janet Zandy and published by RIT Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfinished Stories presents a parallel study of the lives and narrative photography of Hansel Mieth (1909-1998) and Marion Palfi (1907-1978). Mieth was the second woman staff photographer employed by Life magazine. Palfi's photo of Henry Street Settlement kids was the first cover of Ebony magazine. German born émigrés who never met, they constructed remarkably similar photo narratives of unseen America. They were visual storytellers, artists, and citizen-photographers who do not fit easily into contemporary categories of photojournalism or documentary photography. Great risk-takers, they grasped the complexities inherent in representing human beings as individuals, as part of an ethnic, racial or labor group, and as citizens colonized in their own land. They may have photographed the circumstances of alienation, but their themes involved connection, human relationships, and solidarity. Unfinished Stories offers a fresh and theoretically informed eye on representational photography. It forges a place for Hansel Mieth and Marion Palfi in the history of photography and in the history of American race and class struggle.
Book Synopsis Encounters with Remarkable Men by : Douglas Elbinger
Download or read book Encounters with Remarkable Men written by Douglas Elbinger and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-02-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an autobiographical retrospective of my forty plus years as a photojournalist and portrait photographer. Starting out the the 1960's, I did not plan on making a book, but looking back, I see how this evolved from a natural progression of life events that follow my curiosity about people and my interest in art, politics, spirituality, and culture. At an early age I taught myself photography and set on a path to meet and photograph the people who intrigued me and go to the places that inspire me. Early on, I figured the vehicle to do this would be photography. I remember being influenced by Matthew Brady's photographs of the Civil War and thought that recording history with photographs was something that I wanted to pursue. I was also inspired by the photographers who appeared Life and National Geographic magazines and so as a teenager, prepared myself for a career in photojournalism. I was influenced by the leading photographers of the time, such as Yousef Karsh, Richard Avedon, and Arnold Newman.
Download or read book Susan Meiselas written by Susan Meiselas and published by Steidl. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice have been central to debates in photography. Perhaps no other photographer has so closely and consistently represented and participated in these debates than Susan Meiselas. An American photographer best known for her work covering the political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and 80s--including the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador--Meiselas' process has evolved in radical and challenging ways as she has grappled with essential questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images in the media and the relationship of images to history and memory. Meiselas is under no illusions about the dual nature of the photographer's role as witness: "The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don't belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation." Her tenacious engagement with these matters has made her a leading commentator in the debate on contemporary photojournalism. With 200 plates and contributions from some of photography's finest theorists--among them David Levi Strauss, Lucy Lippard, Kristen Lubben, Jan-Erik Lundstrom and Allan Sekula--this volume gives an overview of Meiselas' enormously varied and courageous work to date.

Book Synopsis Photography Beyond Technique by : Tom Persinger
Download or read book Photography Beyond Technique written by Tom Persinger and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Photography is not dying and has not died. It has been an ever-changing medium since its earliest days, and while near-obsession with the technology of the day may have defined photography over the course of its existence, photography is so much more than hardware and software. Photography is communication, whether chemical or digital, tangible or ephemeral in form. Photography Beyond Technique is a compelling selection of essays and images that reveal the thoughts and methods of some of today's most exciting contemporary photographers. These artists employ alternative, historical, or handmade processes and techniques, and they share a comprehensive view of the medium: that the choice of photographic process is just as important as the selection of subjects. While other books concentrate solely on process, or theory, or artistic intent, none focus on photography in which these decisions are considered inseparable. These 20 essays, originally presented at the annual F295 symposium and seminar series, provide a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in photography as an art form and as a medium through which to view the world. Includes: - "Looking Backward, Seeing Forward: Reframing Visual History" by Robert Hirsch - "Mystery, Memory, and Narrative" by Martha Casanave - "Finding Confidence: Combining Process with Purpose" by Mark Osterman - "Photograph, Material, and Metaphor" by Jerry Spagnoli"--Provided by publisher.
Download or read book First Doubt written by Joshua Chuang and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many photographers have been intrigued with the baffling distortions--both subtle and disquieting--that can occur when the camera "captures" the real world. Not always intentional, some images dazzle with impossible juxtapositions or disorienting spatial orders, while others confound the viewer's belief in the documentary promise of photography. Drawn from the highly respected collection of Allan Chasanoff, the photographs in this intriguing volume confront viewers with the challenge of doubt and confusion in so-called "straight" pictures. Featured are perceptually provocative images by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Clarence John Laughlin, Imogen Cunningham, and Lee Friedlander, among others. The book's essays raise awareness of the interpretive nature of the lens and the interpolative nature of the medium.

Book Synopsis 25 Lessons I've Learned about (Photography) Life! (In Color) by : Lorenzo Domínguez
Download or read book 25 Lessons I've Learned about (Photography) Life! (In Color) written by Lorenzo Domínguez and published by . This book was released on 2011-02-18 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK (This edition contains color photos) 25 Lessons Lessons I've Learned about (Photography) Life! has been the #1 best selling photo essay on amazon.com for both 2010 and 2011. It is also a best seller in the Arts & Literature Biographies & Memoirs, Self-Help, Inspirational and Spiritual categories. In his best-selling book, Lorenzo describes how the deceptively simple rules of photography can also be applied to the art of living. Inspirational and poetic, this book will not only spark readers' creative energies, but also reawaken your passion for life. In 2005, as a husband, father, and corporate employee - Lorenzo's life revolved around home, work, and his daily commute from the suburbs to the city. Then, one day, he found himself staying at the Little Church in midtown Manhattan in the wake of a marital separation. Living in virtual isolation for three months, he had a rare chance to re-examine his life. Quite unexpectedly, he found himself wandering around the city to take photographs, a passion he had let slide in the years of pursuing a career and starting a family. During his nightly sojourns through the streets of New York City, he was reminded of some important life lessons-lessons too easily forgotten in the blur of everyday existence. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING "The book has been the best investment in my life." PD, New York "I don't think I've ever read as moving a piece on the craft of photography in my life. Most pieces on photography are more tech manual in approach, this one really touches my soul...it's going to really impact my life." Phyllis Johnson, photojournalist and author of Being Frank with Anne "We received our copies of 25 Lessons today and began reading it as a class - it is truly amazing." Paul Scott, Head of Photography, St. Boniface's Catholic College in Plymouth, UK "In many of my conversations on great photographers, I frequently mention Lorenzo's work. His sequential photographs...are nothing less that a visual urban poem. It has been my pleasure to watch Lorenzo's rapid growth as a leading photographer of our time." Jim Van Meter, Rochester, NY, USA "Lorenzo is a master. His body of work is some of the very best online and may very well be some of the best being done in the medium today. His street work follows in the tradition of Paul Strand, Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand and Larry Friedlander. Lorenzo's 25 Lessons are...as seminal as Ansel's dissertation on the zone system. I found them to be reenergizing, perceptive and extremely useful. I have been touched by his story, his writings and by his work. I can't imagine anyone not being so."Barry Shapiro, Los Angeles, CA, USA "Lorenzo...has a passion for life, photography and writing. He is a linguistic genius, a storyteller through words and pictures. He captures with his camera the world as he sees it, its feelings, love, beauty and all it has to offer..." Brenda George, Adelaide, Australia "As an oncologist, my primary job is not only to add days to people's lives, it is to add life to people's days. Lorenzo's book has provided me with a great instrument through which I can further become the counselor, healer and confidant my patient's demand. It has reignited in me the passion, warmth and compassion which are sequential for me on a daily basis to be the best physician and person I can be and I've encouraged all of my patients and families to share in his masterpiece as laughter, love, and imagination are the ultimate weapons against grief and despair. Secondary to Lorenzo's great influence in my life, I continue to use his writings and photography as a means to inspire my patient's to express their deep inner emotions as a way to reflect on their understanding of disease and in developing goals of therapy. I recommend his book to all." Mike Rotkowitz, MD, New York City

Book Synopsis Richard Renaldi by : Roger Hargreaves
Download or read book Richard Renaldi written by Roger Hargreaves and published by Aperture Foundation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though he works with an omnivorous 8x10 camera, Richard Renaldi has the roving eye of a street photographer, always searching for the brief encounter, the fleeting moment when a stranger will open his or her life to him, and, consequently, to the viewer. Richard Renaldi's Figure and Ground, drawn from more than seven years of work, presents portraits, landscapes and, most importantly, the portraits in situ that meld those two classic photographic genres, in which he embraces not only individuals but the environment that encompasses them. These images were made across the United States, and take in not only those who might seem traditionally American-a blonde carrying a Louis Vuitton bag through a Greyhound terminal, or a rodeo cowboy, arms akimbo, standing determinedly against an all-dirt horizon-but also a woman in a burqa and Timberland boots on a faded Newark street and a transgender girl working a fast-food counter under the sad-glamorous glow of fluorescent lighting. If there is truly a center to the changing American social landscape, it can be found here, in these precisely rendered portraits.
