Written by an international team of experts, the 1,200 alphabetical entries in this dictionary span the history of photography from 1839 to the modern era. Illustrated with more than 300 photographs and diagrams, they profile inventors such as Daguerre and Fox Talbot, and photographers including Julia Margaret Cameron and Sebastião Salgado, while also explaining equipment, formats, techniques and processes.
The comprehensive, accessible and authoritative illustrated reference to the history, art and science of photography. In one single, elegant volume, this publication features over 300 iconic photographs and contains more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. Though much information can today be found online, locating it takes time and sources can have questionable provenance and uncertain academic credentials. All previous dictionaries of photography are now outdated, as well, focusing either on the famous and influential practitioners of the genre or presented as mere glossaries of technical terms. This landmark publication is the culmination of ten years of development and research. Working with an international expert panel of 150 consultants and 77 researchers, Nathalie Herschdorfer has triumphed in creating the first source of information for all scholars, practitioners and collectors of photography to turn to in the future.
