by Steve Crist Contact sheets are fascinating. They reveal so much about how a photograph is made. This book is a behind the scenes tour of some of the most iconic images of the 20th century and beyond. You'll recognize many of the pictures in here from the likes of William Claxton, Ed Ruscha, Nan Goldin, Elliott Erwitt, and Dorothea Lange, but what is truly remarkable—and a thrill to see—are the shots they took before and after the ones we all know so well. From the publisher: The Contact Sheet offers an insightful look into some of the most iconic photographs of our times, unveiling rarely seen contact sheets from the original photo sessions. This compilation showcases some of the most seminal photographers of our time, revealing the depth and breadth of their photographic process. Photographers such as William Claxton, Chuck Close, Robert Doisneau, Nan Golding, Dorothea Lange, Julius Shulman, Jeanloup Sieff, and many more are featured here in this compelling compilation. For every iconic photograph, many images taken before and after this are left unseen to anyone but the photographer. Examining the contact sheets from these original photographic sessions allows insight into the subject matter, the photographic process, and often reveals a deeper story that has never been told. Over forty iconic photographs by world famous photographers, and a few emerging artists, are showcased in detail in The Contact Sheet, complete with short biographies and background details of the sessions themselves. The Contact Sheet is an indispensable must-have for any serious fan of fine photography. Hardcover book measures 10.2" x 8.4" x 0.9" TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK |
