Why take a self-portrait but cover your face with a light bulb? Why deliberately underexpose an image or take a picture of the ceiling? And why is this all considered art? In this book, Jackie Higgins provides an interesting and informative account of contemporary photography. Using the example of 100 key photographers, the author explores what inspired their works and how they were created. Jackie Higgins explains the significance of these unique photographs and why they are blurred, overexposed or "badly" composed. The author proves once and for all that the art of photography is much more complex than it seems at first glance.
