The fact that a photograph is split between negative and positive manifestations means that its identity is always simultaneously divided and multiplied. The interaction of these two components was often spread out over time and space and could involve more than one person, giving photography the capacity to produce multiple copies of a given image and for that image to have many different looks, sizes and makers. This book traces these complications for canonical images by such figures as William Henry Fox Talbot, Kusakabe Kimbei, Dorothea Lange, Man Ray, Seydou KeiÂta, Richard Avedon, and Andreas Gursky. But it also considers a number of related issues crucial to any understanding of photography, from the business practices of professional photographers to the repetition of pose and setting that is so central to certain familiar photographic genres. Ranging from the daguerreotype to the digital image, the end result is a kind of little history of photography, partial and episodic, but no less significant a rendition of the photographic experience for being so. This book represents a summation of Batchen's work to date, making it be essential reading for students and scholars of photography and for all those interested in the history of the medium"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photography $x History. 650 7 $a Photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061714 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Batchen, Geoffrey, $t Negative/positive $d Abingdon, Oxon ; a New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9780429356810 $w (DLC) 2020026015 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023555.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ED8FB3DC9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
