Publisher's Description
The scenes may be familiar or a world away, the milieu peace or war, the subjects
everyday objects or life-changing events. The work may be editorial,
journalistic, promotional or personal, published or unpublished. The photographer
may be a big name or an unknown. The 300 images here are united by
their success, by strong composition, clear communication and often by
beauty. Together, they embody a year in the life of the medium we live by.
American Photography is the perfect window on the world of contemporary
photography, with a striking design that makes it a beautiful object in its
own right, as well as a time capsule in the making, reflecting the world we
inhabit and imagine.
