Everything counts in a good photograph, even down to the smallest details. This introductory guide is structured to help you develop new and more in-depth ways of looking at images, whether as a viewer or practitioner - or just out snapping with your smartphone.     Looking at Photographs outlines key approaches to help us understand why a photograph captures our attention and moves us. Across seven chapters, visual culture expert Laurent Jullier discusses themes and concepts that are essential to understanding the medium, including: photography as a reflection of reality; manipulation and defamiliarization; focus, perspective and space; time and the moment; identity, portraits and selfies; the power of images.     With examples drawn from across the world and throughout the history of photography, from Louis Daguerre to Julia Margaret Cameron, L?szl? Moholy-Nagy, Dorothea Lange, Andreas Gursky, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Dayanita Singh, A?da Muluneh and many others, as well as a helpful glossary of terms, this guide is not just about learning `how to read' photographs, it is about knowing how to ask the right questions when you look at images.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56291009823093,"sku":"9780500297506","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780500297506.jpg?v=1762736346","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780500297506","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
