16 Ways of Looking at a Photograph: Contemporary Theories

By Claire Raymond

Featuring an accessible and engaging writing style, 16 Ways of Looking at a Photograph: Contemporary Theories explores key concepts that have shaped the interpretation of photography and photography itself. It begins with two important inventions--the development of the photographic negative and the capability to produce multiple prints--and then considers various theories from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. The book concludes with an excursion into "post-photography" theory: the argument that in the digital era, photography as such is altered.
