Résumé:
Latest addition in the long running series of found photography, in which editor Erik Kessels explores a collection of amateur and overlooked imagery. #9 features the story of one family's attempts to photograph their black dog over several decades. Posed usually with his owners in domestic settings, for years the lack of light and camera limitations make the dog appear as a vague blob. Only at the book's uplifting conclusion does the family's equipment and technique match their ambition, as their pet is finally captured in all his glory, illustrating a tale of optimism and perseverance.

Résumé:
La street photography connaît aujourd'hui un renouveau sans précédent. À travers le portrait de 46 photographes actuels, les auteurs de ce livre nous donnent à voir le meilleur de la création contemporaine dans un domaine qui n'a cessé depuis Gary Winogrand, Robert Doisneau, Henri Cartier-Bresson et Robert Frank - quatre des plus grands noms de la photographie de rue - de fasciner photographes, écrivains et un public amateurs d'"instants décisifs ". Toute la magie, la poésie, la beauté mais aussi le comique et le tragique de nos vies urbaines sont révélés par ces photographes capables en une fraction de seconde de rendre compte avec une rare éloquence de la complexité de la condition humaine. A travers quatre essais abordant les grandes thématiques de la street photography et une conversation menée entre plusieurs des principaux protagonistes du genre, les auteurs montrent à quel point la photographie de rue soulève de nombreuses questions passionnantes. Graves, dérisoires, drôles, émouvantes, captivantes, les photographies rassemblées ici affirment de manière éclatante que la street photography est aussi riche et protéiforme que l'homme de la rue - pour qui sait voir et regarder.

Résumé:
More than an exhibition catalogue, this reference book is lavishly illustrated with the works from the 25 exhibitions of the event, and includes essays by leading commentators on contemporary art and technology. The camera is not a tool just waiting to be picked up and used, but a sophisticated instrument with its own laws, its own ways of working, and even its own life. With the incorporation of automatic devices – and, more recently, computers – the camera has its own agency. It can see what is invisible to the human eye; it can work continuously; it can travel to places that humans would find impossible or dangerous to visit; it can enter the human body and travel into outer space. It has been taken for granted that the photographic image is the most important aspect of the photographic process. However, the artists and writers in Drone: The Automated Image suggest something completely different. At the centre of their concerns is the changing relationship between the camera and the body and how the camera can function with little human involvement. As humans rely more and more on technology to extend vision, the camera takes on behaviours associated with the body. From CCTV to Google Street View, from remote cameras to robots, and from photo booths to drones, cameras are remaking the conditions of human existence.

The fields of photography and architecture have long been closely linked : photography provides a powerful way for architecture to be appreciated from a distance, and the camera lens alters and enhances buildings so that they can be appreciated anew, even by those already intimately familiar with them. Concrete: Photography and Architecture explores this deep and often complex relationship, with particular attention paid not only to how photography influences the perception of architecture but also the very design itself.

The photographs of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which recorded American life in the late 1930s and early 1940s, remain among the most moving and famous documentary images from the first half of the 20th century. Yet few people know that, along with thousands and thousands of black-and-white photographs, the FSA photographers also took color pictures. Covering countryside and city, farm and factory, work and play, the images in this book reveal a world that we have always seen in our mind's eye exclusively in black and white.
