Bøger af Susan Bright

Food has been a much-photographed subject throughout the history of photography, across genres, including art and advertising. This is the first book to survey the rich history of food in photography, and the photographers who developed new ways of describing food in pictures. Through key images, Susan Bright explores the important figures and movements of food photography to provide an essential primer, from the earliest photographers to contemporary artists.

In this album, the compelling photographer Alessandra Sanguinetti explores her vision of France, in which old traditions persist even while they fray and shift in relation to contemporary stresses, including multiculturalism. The work presents an intuitive, often lyrical journey that is undercut with a sense of tension about what it means to be French¿and to photograph the French¿today. Le Gendarme Sur La Colline is the result of a major new commission by Fondation d¿entreprise Hermès and Aperture Foundation. Called ¿Immersion, a French American Photography Commission,¿ the program seeks to expand artistic dialogue between France and the US, while investing in creativity, and providing a platform for an important emerging artist to create a major new body of work.

Published to coincide with an exhibition held at the Photographers Gallery and Foundling Museum in London and touring to Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography, this book examines contemporary interpretations of one of the most enduring subjects in the history of picture-making: the image of the mother.
