Résumé:
This survey presents the work of seventy-six of the most important artist-photographers in the world today. Susan Bright has organized the book into seven sections : City, Portrait, Document, Object, Landscape, Fashion, and Narrative. Each section explores the diverse subjects, styles, and methods adopted by artists. Introductions to each section outline the genres and consider why photographers are attracted to certain themes and how issues like memory, time, objectivity, politics, identity, and the everyday are tied to certain approaches. Each photographer’s work is then presented in sequence, with commentaries by the author highlighting the art’s most important aspects. Quotations from the artists appear alongside to offer valuable insights into the motivation, inspiration, and intentions behind the work. With an introduction that sets out the historical relationship between art and photography from the early nineteenth century and discusses the art world’s embrace of the medium in recent decades, Art Photography Now is a comprehensive guide to the essential aspects of contemporary photography.

Résumé:
La photographie contemporaine présente le travail de 80 des plus importants artistes photographes d'aujourd'hui, ordonné selon sept chapitres - le portrait, le paysage, le récit, l'objet, la mode, le documentaire et la ville, il explore la diversité et l'hétérogénéité des sujets, des méthodes et des styles propres à chacun. Chacune de ces séquences interroge le genre à l'aune des approches de ces photographes qui mêlent à leur travail des considérations sur la mémoire, le temps (passé/présent), l'objectivité, l'événement, la fiction (et leurs frontières), le point de vue, la politique, l'espace privé/public, l'identité, le quotidien, l'intimité. Chaque photographe fait l'objet d'un court portrait appuyé par un commentaire de l'artiste lui-même éclairant les aspects les plus singuliers de son œuvre. Une entrée directe dans leur univers, une visite guidée au sein de leurs motivations, sources d'inspiration et intentions.

Résumé:
Interest in both food photography and food as a subject has risen in recent years, and this is the first book to cover food photography's rich history-not only in fine art photography, but also in crossover genres such as commercial and scientific photography and photojournalism. Susan Bright's introduction and commentary accompanying the photographs bring insight and intelligence to this spectacular subject, and trace the progression of the genre from photography's beginnings to present day, featuring artists from all eras-Roger Fenton, Nickolas Muray, Edward Weston, Irving Penn, Stephen Shore, Laura Letinsky, Wolfgang Tillmans, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Martin Parr, to name a few. Through key pictures, Bright explores the important figures and movements of food photography to provide an essential primer.
