Photography and Sport
The rise of modern sport in the mid-nineteenth century coincided with the emergence of photography as a new image-making medium, and both practices developed in parallel. Although early technological limitations restricted the possibilities for capturing sporting action, many of the photographers of the time embraced sport as a powerful subject for their work, a trend that has continued throughout history. This book traces the close relationship between photography and sport, from its beginnings to the present day. Taking a unique thematic approach, the author describes the early sporting images, the impact of technological developments on sports photography, and the establishment of new visual conventions for the representation of sport in the popular illustrated journals of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He examines the use of images of sport for commercial and advertising purposes, the gender politics of sporting practices, and the photographic representation of the sports spectator and of non-professional sport, exploring the impact on wider socio-political issues along the way.
