Description
Before-and-After Photography explores the widespread use of paired images in photography, examining their conceptual implications and historical context. From the 19th century to the present day, this volume delves into the ways photographers have used before-and-after pairings to represent change, whether positive or negative.
The book features case studies that investigate the role of these images in various contexts, including issues such as sexuality, race, environmental change, and criminality. By examining the work of practicing photographers who have deployed and challenged the conventions of the before-and-after pairing, this volume sheds light on major topics of current debate in the critique of photography.
Accessible to students and scholars alike, Before-and-After Photography offers a nuanced exploration of photography's relationship with time and imagination. This interdisciplinary work presents rich language and evidence, providing valuable insights into the complex issues surrounding photography's use of before-and-after pairings.
