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. \
