Description
Photography: The Key Concepts provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of photography, exploring how photographic genres can be coded and interpreted using key theoretical models. This second edition has been expanded and updated to cover contemporary changes in photography.
The book examines various photographic practices, including documentary, portraiture, landscape, still life, art, and global photography, as well as two new chapters on snapshots and the act of looking. With over three times as many photographs as the first edition, this guide equips students with the analytical skills they need to engage with contemporary practices in more detail.
As an indispensable resource for courses that consider the place of photography in society, visual culture, art, media, and cultural studies, Photography: The Key Concepts is a valuable tool for anyone looking to understand the role of photography in our daily lives.
