Description
The digital revolution has fundamentally altered the way we receive visual information. In "After Photography", Fred Ritchin examines how ordinary people's cell phone photos are changing the way we consume images, as well as the widespread use of image surveillance. Ritchin argues that it is time to explore the possibilities created by digital innovations and use them to better understand our rapidly changing world. He analyzes photography's failings, such as its reliability as documentation, while revealing untapped potentials for the medium. In this thought-provoking book, Ritchin joins the tradition of photographers like John Berger and Susan Sontag in examining the complexities of visual media in the digital age.
