Description

Here is a journey through the mind and work of Joel Meyerowitz, one of the most famous and versatile photographers at work in the world today. Meyerowitz discusses a raft of themes and issues with the photography critic Alessia Tagliaventi, including storytelling, the use of colour and black and white, and personal and social issues. Meyerowitz's images and Tagliaventi's acute questions give the reader an insight into the secrets of Meyerowitz's art, and a lesson in basic and more advanced photography techniques. The result is an artful melding of text and photos that constitutes both a complex examination of Meyerowitz's work and a manual on how to read photography itself.
