Understanding Photobooks is a user-friendly guide to engaging with the photographic book— or, as it is widely known, the photobook. Despite its importance as a central medium in which many photographers showcase their work today, there is surprisingly little information on the mechanics of the photobook: what exactly it does and how it does it. Written for makers and artists, this book will help you develop a better understanding of the images, concept, sequence, design, and production of the photobook. With an awareness of the connections between these elements, you’ll be able to evaluate photobooks more clearly and easily, ultimately allowing for a deeper and more rewarding experience of the work.

Portraits are everywhere. One finds them not only in museums and galleries, but also in newspapers and magazines, in the homes of people and in the boardrooms of companies, on stamps and coins, on millions of cell phones and computers. Despite its huge popularity, however, portraiture hasn’t received much philosophical attention. While there are countless art historical studies of portraiture, contemporary philosophy has largely remained silent on the subject. This book aims to address that lacuna. It brings together philosophers (and philosophically minded historians) with different areas of expertise to discuss this enduring and continuously fascinating genre. The chapters in this collec...
El libro de fotografía ha sido un objeto central en la historia cultural de los últimos cien años. Hasta ahora, los abordajes sobre este dispositivo lo han homologado a la categoría moderna de obra, empeñándose en buscar una especificidad fotográfica y en atribuir su producto a un autor. A través de una perspectiva situada, esta colección de ensayos busca instalar nuevos umbrales de reflexividad sobre el libro de fotografía. Lejos de una mirada celebratoria, los textos aquí reunidos apuntan a pensar los poderes que operaron en estos objetos, las particularidades que asume en América Latina y España, las políticas realizadas y futuras y las potencias que de ellas nos es dado a e...
IX Encuentro de Historia de la Fotografía en Castilla-La Mancha
Las industrias creativas en América Latina están en auge. A pesar de que la creatividad, la producción y la creación de valor en países como México y Colombia son un motor poderoso para el producto interno bruto, el porcentaje de representación de las mujeres en este sector de la economía sigue siendo un gran reto. Por este motivo, el presente libro, resultado de la colaboración entre investigadores de la Universidad de los Andes y el Tecnológico de Monterrey, estudia emprendimientos de mujeres en la región; reúne testimonios de empoderamiento femenino en industrias tales como el cine, la fotografía, la edición y la moda, entre otros; y muestra el camino para las nuevas generaciones que trabajarán por conseguir mejores oportunidades y condiciones.
A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers. The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens. Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicate...
