Synopsis
The definitive history of photography book, Seizing the Light: A Social & Aesthetic History of Photography delivers the fascinating story of how photography as an art form came into being, and its continued development, maturity, and transformation. Covering the major events, practitioners, works, and social effects of photographic practice, Robert Hirsch provides a concise and discerning chronological account of Western photography. This fundamental starting place shows the diversity of makers, inventors, issues, and applications, exploring the artistic, critical, and social aspects of the creative process. The third edition includes up-to-date information about contemporary photographers like Cindy Sherman and Yang Yongliang, and comprehensive coverage of the digital revolution, including the rise of mobile photography, the citizen as journalist, and the role of social media. Highly illustrated with full-color images and contributions from hundreds of artists around the world, Seizing the Light serves as a gateway to the history of photography. Written in an accessible style, it is perfect for students newly engaging with the practice of photography and for experienced photographers wanting to contextualize their own work.

- 1***l (296)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoTranscript was packaged nicely, and while it took a few days before it was shipped, it got here pretty fast! It came exactly as it was shown in the pictures. As a fan of Great Courses material this was a good find for a good price, since most of these transcripts for older Great Courses are hard to find and are more expensive. Nonetheless, good seller!
