Synopsis
In the first philosophical book wholly about photography, Patrick Maynard dispels some basic, persistent confusions by treating photography as a technology―a way to enhance and filter human power. Once photography is understood as a kind of technology, Maynard argues, insights about technology may be applied to provide the general perspective on photography that has been missing.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The study makes a contribution to the ongoing conversation about photography by calling attention to the unexpected forms into which the 'technology' of photography has been evolving. Patrick Maynard's examination of photography as a productive process, 'an engine of visualization' challenges studies in which the category 'photography' is evaluated in terms of photographs, which are, in turn, evaluated in relation to the things to which they refer.
