Synopsis

An alphabetical glossary of contemporary photographic experience from the author of In Almost Every Picture

Dutch collector and photographer Erik Kessels (born 1966) is well-known for his image anthology series In Almost Every Picture.

Organized in alphabetical order, it boasts 299 contemporary artists and photographers; 310 stories and legends; 957 color and black-and-white pictures; and 1,215 ideas and concepts. As Kessels writes: “Learn how to look differently and see more, and get inspired by this book on how to SHOW photography.”
