Summary:
The Nature of Photographs is the essential primer of photography, not only for students but for anyone with an interest in the medium. In this book, Shore explores ways of understanding photographs from all periods and of all types - from iconic images to found photographs, from negatives to digital files. Its aim is not to explore photographic content – the subject of an image – but to describe the physical and formal attributes of a photographic print, the very elements that form the tools a photographer uses to define and interpret that content. By teaching us how to look at photographs and helping us to see the world the way the photographer may have seen it, Shore also teaches us a way of looking at the world around us.

Summary:
L'ère post-photographique se caractérise par le massification des images de même que par leur circulation et leur disponibilité sur Internet. Aux fractures ontologiques que la technologie numérique fait subir à la photographie s'ajoutent des mutations profondes de ses valeurs sociales et fonctionnelles. La culture visuelle post-photographique est ainsi marquée, d'un côté, par une virulente remise en question de la notion d'auteur et, de l'autre, par la légitimation des pratiques appropriationistes. Dans ce nouveau contexte, La condition post-photographique nous invite à nous interroger sur la nature de la création et sur les critères de l'«artisticité».

Summary:
Typical architectural photography freezes buildings in an ideal moment and rarely captures what photographer Berenice Abbott called the medium's power to depict "how the past jostled the present." In Beyond the Architect's Eye, Mary N. Woods expands on this range of images through a rich analysis that commingles art, amateur, and documentary photography, genres usually not considered architectural but that often take the built environment as their subject. Mary N. Woods is Professor of the History of Architecture and Urbanism at Cornell University. She is the author of From Craft to Profession: The Practice of Architecture in Nineteenth-Century America.

Summary:
This book examines a recurrent question in recent literature on the use of the photographic medium in contemporary art. It is concerned with the multiformity of ways the photograph manifests itself in diverse artistic practices today, and with the consequences of this situation for photography’s critical potential. Central to this discussion is the question whether photography has a hybrid or chameleonic character because it can be part of entirely different mixed-media works of art. The book also raises such questions as: Does the photo-image nowadays serve mainly as a useful tool to make a renewed kind of tableau, often marked by a rather noncommittal and ‘poetic’ visual imagery? When photographic practices aim at raising a critical debate on the internal workings of the artistic system itself or on broader social problems, is the photograph then able to distinguish itself from a merely ‘political’ statement or a pamphlet? A distinguished variety of authors, all specialists in the field of contemporary photography, offer their viewpoints on this debate.
