Contemporary art photography is paradoxical. Anyone can look at it and form an opinion about what they see; yet it represents critical positions that only a small minority of well-informed viewers can usually access.Why Art Photography? provides a lively; accessible introduction to the ideas behind todayrsquo;s striking photographic images. Exploring key issues such as ambiguity; objectivity; staging; authenticity; the digital and photographyrsquo;s expanded field; the chapters offer fresh perspectives on existing debates. While the main focus is on the present; the book traces concepts and visual styles to their origins; drawing on carefully selected examples from recognized international photographers. Images; theories and histories are described in a clear; concise manner and key terms are defined along the way.This book is ideal for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of photography as an art form.
