The Nature of Photographs, Stephen Shore
A Primer
An essential primer of how to look at and understand photographs, by one of the world's most influential photographers, Stephen Shore
In this book, Stephen Shore explores ways of understanding and looking at all types of photographs — from iconic images to found pictures, negatives to digital files. Based on Shore's many years of teaching photography at Bard College, New York State, this book serves as an indispensable tool for students, teachers and everyone who wants to take better pictures or learn to look at them in a more informed way.
As well as a selection of Shore's own work, The Nature of Photographs contains images from throughout the history of photography, from works by the fathers of photography such as Alfred Stieglitz and Walker Evans to that of artists working with the medium today such as Collier Schorr and Thomas Struth. It covers a range of genres, such as street photography; fine art photography and documentary photography, as well as images by unknown photographers, be they in the form of an old snapshot or an aerial photograph taken as part of a geographical survey. Together with his clear, intelligent and accessible text, Shore uses these works to demonstrate how the world in front of the camera is transformed into a photograph.
At the age of 17, Stephen Shore (1947) was a regular at Andy Warhol's Factory. By the age of 23 he became the first living photographer to have a one-man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. An unrivalled pioneer in his field, his work has been exhibited in numerous museums worldwide and influenced generations of photographers. In 1982 he was appointed Director of the Photography Program at Bard College, New York where he became the Susan Weber Soros Professor in the Arts.
