Résumé:
Undeniably one of the most influential innovations of the modern world, the car has changed not only the way we live, but also the way we look at the world around us. From formal, compositional device to highly desirable, photogenic object, the car has a long and enduring appeal in modern and contemporary photography as revealed in this latest addition to the V Photography Library. "Autofocus" explores the deep cultural significance of the car in the history of photography, playing a role both as subject matter and as a genuine creative vehicle- the means by which photographers have accomplished many of their great works. Showcased is work by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Edward Weston, and Weegee.

Résumé:
Depuis l’invention de la photographie, les photographes se servent de leur art pour raconter des histoires. Ils dirigent des modèles qui posent devant l’objectif et, grâce à une utilisation judicieuse des accessoires, des costumes et de l’éclairage, créent des images fictives, à contenu narratif. " La photographie mise en scène - créer l'illusion du réel " est une exposition (et son catalogue) explorant l’évolution et la diversité de ce type de photographie depuis le début du XIXe siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Résumé:
In 'staged' photography the artist takes on the role of a director, creating or staging an image. He or she uses models, props, costumes or lighting, often creating a theatrical quality. This book traces the history of the staged photograph, focusing on such key themes as the artist as actor, art historical imagery, and narratives and allegories. It includes engaging essays on Victorian tableaux vivants, Surrealism, and iconic photographs from the 1930s and 1940s previously thought to be documentary images but that were in fact staged.
