Description
'Wide-ranging and eclectic' TLS
'Seductively curious' Observer
'A visual and intellectual journey' Herald
See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world's most important photographers - from Eugene Atget to Alex Webb - Geoff Dyer shows us how to read a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by turns moving, funny, prescient and surprising.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
'Seductively curious essays' from the Observer highlight Dyer's skill in uncovering hidden truths in images. Praised for 'beautifully written and stylish prose' by Stuart Kelly, the book offers a pleasurable, compelling visual and intellectual journey, as noted by the Irish Times and Herald. The TLS calls it 'wide-ranging and eclectic' with insightful, poetic readings.
