The definitive visual history, from the dawn of photography to the digital age

This lavish coffee-table book traces the history of photography from the first black and white images to celebrated examples of 21st-century digital photography.

Photography celebrates the most iconic photographs of the past 200 years and includes more than 50 biographies of the most famous photographers, explaining how they pushed the bounds of the medium. It also shows the extraordinary cameras that photographers experimented with, from the daguerreotype to the latest camera phones.

Charting the influence of social and cultural change, as well as the impact of science and technology, this beautiful book follows the history of photographs from the first grainy attempts at portait and landscape photography to gritty photojournalism, street photography, and digital photography, with special features delving into the stories behind photographic images that changed how people saw the world.

Packed with information and full of inspiration, Photography is the perfect photography book for budding photographers, seasoned professionals, and anyone with an interest in the fascinating story of photography.

I teach photography, and I think it’s useful to remind students that great photography is not dependent on the latest gear, it’s a product of artfulness and patience. This book provides a concise history of photography and presents a fraction of the great work done in the past. It’s beautifully printed and bound. A great book to browse through.
