[ePub] Being Tommy Cooper by Tom Green in Arts-Photography

Description

Digital Photography and Everyday Life: Empirical studies on material visual practices explores the role that digital photography plays within everyday life.With contributors from ten different countries and backgrounds in a range of academic disciplines - including anthropology; media studies and visual culture - this collection takes a uniquely broad perspective on photography by situating the image-making process in wider discussions on the materiality and visuality of photographic practices and explores these through empirical case studies.By focusing on material visual practices; the book presents a comprehensive overview of some of the main challenges digital photography is bringing to everyday life. It explores how the digitization of photography has a wide-reaching impact on the use of the medium; as well as on the kinds of images that can be produced and the ways in which camera technology is developed. The exploration goes beyond mere images to think about cameras; mediations and technologies as key elements in the development of visual digital cultures. Digital Photography and Everyday Life will be of great interest to students and scholars of Photography; Contemporary Art; Visual Culture and Media Studies; as well as those studying Communication; Cultural Anthropology; and Science and Technology Studies.
