Summary:
This survey presents the work of seventy-six of the most important artist-photographers in the world today. Susan Bright has organized the book into seven sections : City, Portrait, Document, Object, Landscape, Fashion, and Narrative. Each section explores the diverse subjects, styles, and methods adopted by artists. Introductions to each section outline the genres and consider why photographers are attracted to certain themes and how issues like memory, time, objectivity, politics, identity, and the everyday are tied to certain approaches. Each photographer’s work is then presented in sequence, with commentaries by the author highlighting the art’s most important aspects. Quotations from the artists appear alongside to offer valuable insights into the motivation, inspiration, and intentions behind the work. With an introduction that sets out the historical relationship between art and photography from the early nineteenth century and discusses the art world’s embrace of the medium in recent decades, Art Photography Now is a comprehensive guide to the essential aspects of contemporary photography.

Summary:
Peter C. Bunnell has been a major force in shaping the discourse about photography’s past and present. During his as professor and curator at Princeton University, he has written extensively. This collection of texts selected from work published throughout his career will make a significant contribution to the field that he has done so much to establish and to nurture. Most of the thirty-four essays are devoted to individual (predominantly American) photographers, with the balance written about three key galleries that played a crucial early role in the recognition and marketing of modern photography. The cast of characters and the approach vary from essay to essay, but in each case Bunnell brings to bear his own sensibility and insight. While encouraging the reader to see previously overlooked aspects of the individual images he discusses so eloquently, he also provides an invaluable historical context for the photographers and their work.

Summary:
In a time of rampant natural disasters and urgent concerns about global environmental change, this exhibition demonstrates the ways in which the most interesting and engaging contemporary artists view the natural world. Shattering the stereotypes of landscape and nature photography, the thirty-nine international artists included in this survey boldly examine new concepts of the natural sphere occasioned by twenty-first-century technologies; images of destructive ecological engagement; and visions of our future interactions with the environment. Considering nature in the broadest sense, this exhibition reflects new perspectives on the planet that sustains, enchants, and—increasingly—frightens us.

Summary:
The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. In this book, Shore explores ways of understanding photographs from all periods and of all types - from iconic images to found photographs, from negatives to digital files. Its aim is not to explore photographic content – the subject of an image – but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us.
