Image and Imagination

Photography might be defined as the translation of external visual reality into material form through mechanism and chemistry, digital technology, or some combination thereof. When a human being is behind the camera, we say that a photograph is a visual perception materialized. But this schematic definition, which largely accounts for the entrenched notion of photography as a medium tied to the real, obscure an important aspect of photographic experience as we will encounter it here: the life of the photograph in the spectatorial mind. Image and Imagination by Martha Langford is a book that challenges the normality of photographs. Attached are some of the most powerful images.

The photograph as contemporary art

We are at an exceptional time for photography as the art world embraces the photograph as never before and photographers consider the art gallery or book the natural home for their work. Throughout the history of photography there have always been promoters of the medium as an art form and vehicle for ideas alongside painting and sculpture, but never as many or as vocal as there are today. The photograph as contemporary art by Charlotte Cotton is a book that takes a new modern twist on photography. Attached are a sample of the most powerful images in the book. \

Photography and Play

We spend a majority of our time working, studying, running households, and doing other things that we are obliged to do, yet our photograph albums tell entirely different stories. This book, Photography and Play by Garcia depicts a life of leisure and play. "Some photographers remind us that we are never more likely to use our cameras or to be photographed than when we are vacationing." Attached is a series of photographs that were the most powerful in this short book.
