Opis

Reflexivity is complex - questioning amongst other things the familiar idea that "photography speaks for itself." This, the first book devoted to the subject, aims to help the viewer understand not only the photograph, but also its context and the practice of the photographer who made the work. The Reflexive Photographer examines a richly-illustrated variety of styles and methods of working - from documentary to found photographs, from the journal to performance, play, collaborative working and online photo-sharing - so providing a valuable new source of information, analysis and understanding of this significant photographic practice. Among the many varied photographers whose work is illustrated and freshly analysed in the book are Robert Frank, Daido Moriyama, Richard Mosse, Eadweard Muybridge, Ed Ruscha and Garry Winogrand.
