Come guardare una fotografia

In a good photograph everything matters, down to the smallest details. But what do photographs really represent?
Are they a window to reality or do they have a deeper meaning?

In this introductory guide, visual culture expert Laurent Jullier outlines fundamental approaches to analyzing and interpreting photographs. Each chapter introduces key concepts such as focus, perspective, manipulation and more to help us understand why photographs capture our attention and move us. From pioneers to visionaries and innovators, Jullier examines the works of international practitioners Dorothea Lange, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Aïda Muluneh and others. Whether you’re exploring galleries, social media, or the web, this engaging handbook, along with a helpful glossary, gives you the tools to ask the right questions and reveal the stories within each image.
