"'Things As They Are. Photojournalism in Context since 1955' tells the story of modern photojournalists, from The Family of Man and the heyday of Life magazine in 1955 to the era of the camera-phone in the present day.
With 120 picture essays shown as they were first seen on the pages of newspapers and magazines, 'Things As They Are Photojournalism in Context since 1955' reveals how the events of the world and the art of photographers, and the interests of the press have converged on the printed page.
It traces how photojournalism has developed over time alongside changing technology, media, fashions in photography - and a changing world.
Including landmark photo essays by photographers such as Henri CARTIER-BRESSON, Walker EVANS, Nan GOLDIN, W. eugene SMITH, Mary Ellen MARK, Sebastiao SALGADO and James NACHTWEY, as shown on the pages of publications including Life, Paris Match, National Geographic, Stern and the Sunday Times, each is accompanied by an expert commentary.
The book includes an introductory essay by Mary PANZER, a timeline of the last fifty years illustrated by the iconic winners of the annual World Press photo awards and an afterword essay by Christian CAUJOLLE that looks to the future of photojournalism." (publisher's note)
Review:
"Histories of photojournalism typically present the work of photographers taken out of the context. This book, 'Things as they are. Photojournalism in Context since 1955', is different. Presenting photo stories as they appeared on the printed page adds a new dimension to our understanding of the course of photojournalism. A wonderful book, and indispensable foranyone wishing to understand the story of modern photography." (Sebastiao SALGADO)
