A powerhouse of insights into the artistic realm of photography.By The Z ManThis got me thinking about photography in a way I never have. Now I have a strong understanding of what the medium is; and a better grasp of what to do to make my work stand out. Ms. Sontag is an intellectual without peer; her choice of words so eclectic yet perfect in expressing her deep understanding of this field. Its a pleasure to sink ones mind into her words; revel in her clarifications; soak up her insights and intelligence. This book is a classic for a reason. If youre a photographer trying to get a greater grasp of what it takes to be grand or noticed in this business; you will walk away with a deeper understanding of this world and its history. A terrific asset to any photographer gravitating towards the arts.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An engaging readBy BryanSontag writes intelligently without being bogged down in ideology or methodology. This is the work of an intellectual and a connoisseur whose insights are buoyed not by abstract theory but by deeply felt engagement with the art of photography ( and a little theory as well)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A classic.By Stephen D. MalagodiRequired reading for every photographer. I found myself longing for an updated and expanded edition; as the Eurocentric modernist world Sontag so brilliantly illuminates leaves much of our present predicament unexplored.
