Book excerpt: This book features a collection of beautiful portraits that collide with a strange array of elements - in image Shhh a woman poses nude next to an ornamental wooden fish, goose wings and parts of an aircraft, others are similarly nominally random. The common thread that runs between these seemingly disparate images is cohesion. Unlikely as it may sound, in each, every object looks like it is exactly where it ought to be. This is thanks to Rouse's mastery of post production techniques, a mastery he here breaks down into easily follow-able tips for the reader.
Download or read book Cardiff After Dark written by Maciej Dakowicz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiff After Dark is the first monograph by British-based Polish photographer Maciej Dakowicz. Dakowicz spent five years photographing the nighttime revelries that take place in Cardiff over the weekend. Focused around a few pedestrianized streets in the city centre, Dakowicz's images capture nightlife fueled by alcohol and emotions. The arc of an evening's entertainment is captured in these candid photographs, which reveal fun and hilarity as well as fighting and drunken exhaustion. There are stag nights and hen parties, men dressed as superheroes and women dressed as Playboy bunnies, mountains of discarded chip wrappers, arrests by the police, and lots and lots of posing for photographs. Dakowicz's images, at times shocking or upsetting, form an important documentary photobook of British urban life in the early part of the 21st century.

Download or read book Photography after Photography written by Abigail Solomon-Godeau and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting two decades of work by Abigail Solomon-Godeau, Photography after Photography is an inquiry into the circuits of power that shape photographic practice, criticism, and historiography. As the boundaries that separate photography from other forms of artistic production are increasingly fluid, Solomon-Godeau, a pioneering feminist and politically engaged critic, argues that the relationships between photography, culture, gender, and power demand renewed attention. In her analyses of the photographic production of Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe, Susan Meiselas, Francesca Woodman, and others, Solomon-Godeau refigures the disciplinary object of photography by considering these practices through an examination of the determinations of genre and gender as these shape the relations between photographers, their images, and their viewers. Among her subjects are the 2006 Abu Ghraib prison photographs and the Cold War-era exhibition The Family of Man, insofar as these illustrate photography's embeddedness in social relations, viewing relations, and ideological formations.
Download or read book Photography After Capitalism written by Ben Burbridge and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A polemical analysis of the politics and economics of today's vernacular photographic cultures. In Photography After Capitalism, Benedict Burbridge makes the case for a radically expanded conception of photography, encompassing the types of labor too often obscured by black-boxed technologies, slick platform interfaces, and the compulsion to display lives to others. His lively and polemical analysis of today's vernacular photographic cultures shines new light on the hidden work of smartphone assembly teams, digital content moderators, Street View car drivers, Google “Scan-Ops,”low-paid gallery interns, homeless participant photographers, and the photo-sharing masses. Bringing together cultural criticism, social history, and political philosophy, Burbridge examines how representations of our photographic lives—in advertising, journalism, scholarship and, particularly, contemporary art—shape a sense of what photography is and the social relations that comprise it. More precisely, he focuses on how different critical and creative strategies—from the appropriation of social media imagery to performative traversals of the network, from documentaries about secretive manual labor to science fiction fantasies of future sabotage—affect our understanding of photography's interactions with political and economic systems. Drawing insight and inspiration from recent analyses of digital labour, community economies and post-capitalism, Burbridge harnesses the ubiquity of photography to cognitively map contemporary capitalism in search of its weak spots and levers, sites of resistance, and opportunities to build better worlds.
Download or read book The Blind Photographer written by Julian Rothenstein and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blind photographer cannot see a butterfly perched perfectly still on a flower, a bowl of sweet-smelling fruit, or a child's rattle on a darkened floor, but the mind's eye is sharply focused. How then, do blind or partially sighted people capture such extraordinary images? The photographs in this revelatory book suggest a deeper truth: that blindness is itself a kind of seeing, and that those who can see are often blind to the strangeness and beauty of the world around them. As the blind photographer Evgen Bavcar writes, "Photography must belong to the blind, who in their daily existence have learned to become the masters of camera obscura." Through the photographs of more than fifty blind or partially sighted people from around the world, this exhilarating book—the first to explore this phenomenon in all its vibrancy and diversity—will make you see differently.

Download or read book Within the Frame written by David duChemin and published by New Riders. This book was released on 2009-05-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the Frame is a book about finding and expressing your photographic vision, specifically where people, places, and cultures are concerned. A personal book full of real-world wisdom and incredible images, author David duChemin (of pixelatedimage.com) shows you both the how and the why of finding, chasing, and expressing your vision with a camera to your eye. Vision leads to passion, and passion is a cornerstone of great photography. With it, photographs draw the eye in and create an emotional experience. Without it, a photograph is often not worth—and can’t capture—a viewer’s attention. Both instructional and inspirational, Within the Frame helps you on your photographic journey to make better images of the places and people you love, whether they are around the world or in your own backyard. duChemin covers how to tell stories, and the technology and tools we have at our disposal in order to tell those narratives. Most importantly, he stresses the crucial theme of vision when it comes to photographing people, places, and cultures—and he helps you cultivate and find your own vision, and then fit it within the frame.
Download or read book Camera Orientalis written by Ali Behdad and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-08-12 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the time of its invention in 1839, photography had a crucial link to the Middle East. When Daguerre s invention was introduced, it was immediately hailed as a boon to Egyptologists and Orientalists wanting to document their archeological findings. The Middle East also beckoned European experimenters in this new medium for a simple technological reason: early photographs were more quickly and easily made in the intense light of the desert than in gloomy Paris or London. In Camera Orientalis, Ali Behdad examines the cultural and political implications of the emergence of photography in the Middle East. He shows that the camera proved useful to Orientalism, but so too was Orientalism useful to photographers, because it gave them a set of conventions by which to frame these exotic cultures in images for Western audiences. Behdad breaks with standard postcolonial approaches by showing that Orientalist photography was the product of contacts between the West and the East. Indeed, local photographers participated enthusiastically in exoticist representations of the region, adapting Orientalism to the taste of the local elite. Orientalist photography, we learn, was not a one-way street but rather the product of ideas and conventions that circulated between the West and the East."

Download or read book Sex Sessions Bundle written by Charisse Spiers and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know what they say . . . once a porn star always a porn star.Especially when you were born with the tools and the talent. They don't call me 'horseman' for nothing. I wouldn't be the porn king of the west coast if it weren't true. Ladies, I sense your hand on the remote or computer ready to see for yourself. I promise not to disappoint. My bank account tells me so. I'll even fuck you too. And no one has to know. I'm living the dream. Every man's greatest fantasy. Sex-no strings, hot naked girls, payday. We fuck, we film, we forget, and then do it all over again. I don't choose my partner. She's chosen for me. For a while it was the life for me. What better form of revenge than that . . . But I like to think I'm different than most. The truth is, I'm tired, of the endless uncensored intimacy, the constant loneliness off the set, and the lack of emotion that runs within my very veins. I want a break. I almost took it too, but I owed a producer one meeting. He threw something at me I couldn't resist. Reality TV meets porn. She walked up at the perfect time. From the first time I saw her I knew she was different. Quirky, awkward, hot as hell. And a big rack I can't seem to keep my eyes off of. Instant attraction has been foreign to me for as long as I can remember. I'm physically broken, but perhaps she can fix me. Within seconds she already has. And she looks at me as if she doesn't even know who I am. It's my turn to counter. I haven't f*cked my ass off for nothing. This time-I'm picking my partner. He wants me, he better get her. Saxton Maverick has made headlines more than once, but if he comes through, I don't mind sharing the fame. I may even like it. No one turns down a virgin-not even a porn star. Camera tales aren't always fiction.
