    Aus dem Klappentext

    (back cover)
    Why are some photographs so much more effective and powerful than others? WHEN PHOTOGRAPHY REALLY WORKS showcases eighty outstanding photographs, from early pioneering black-and-white prints to the best of today's digital masterpieces. The photographs shown and discussed in this book were taken by artists as diverse as Alfred Steiglitz, Ernst Haas, Margaret Bourke-White, Rineke Dijkstra, and Martin Parr. Photo historian Val Williams highlights the elements that distinguish each of these photographs from more ordinary works, giving special consideration to qualities that include composition, color, texture, and fidelity to subject. Her insightful commentary will open your eyes to the defining qualities of every era, with focus on genres that include portraiture, landscape, photojournalism, social documentary, and others.
