Description
Joel Meyerowitz A Question of Color by Joel Meyerowitz and Robert Shore In the late 1960s, a pivotal moment in the history of photography emerged, as US fine-art photographers began to switch from black-and-white to colour. This shift was met with debate, and one photographer, Joel Meyerowitz, was at the forefront of the change. Meyerowitz recounts his own journey into colour photography, when he was told that serious photographers took black-and-white pictures. He asked, "But why? When the world is in colour?" This book tells the story of Meyerowitz's early days as a photographer, his passion for colour, and the impact it had on his career. Meyerowitz's story is one of experimentation and perseverance. He bought a colour camera, read manuals, and pursued colour techniques, a passion that stayed with him throughout his life. This book is a unique insight into the history of photography, and the role of colour in shaping the medium.
