Description
Inspired by John Szarkowski's 1973 Looking at Photographs, and paying homage to the concept of the one hundred images and a page of text for each, Stephen Frailey now updates this classic with significant works of photography from the early 80s to the present.
Looking at Photography covers all genres of photography, and through discussing the process of the individual works, Frailey—as photographer, editor, and educator—articulates the themes and sensibilities of contemporary photography.
The book is illustrated with major works by acclaimed artists such as Tina Barney, Jeff Wall, Steven Meisel, Nan Goldin, Helmut Newton, Martin Parr, Tim Walker, and Wolfgang Tillmans, among others.

Critics praise Frailey's book as a much-needed discourse on visual literacy amid the digital image explosion. Miss Rosen "Blind" highlights the insightful and accessible text accompanying a fascinating selection of photographs. Rosemary Feitelberg of WWD notes Frailey continues MoMA's legacy by providing valuable insights into complex photographic technologies and artists' motivations. David Schoerner from Pro Photo Daily applauds Frailey's challenge in explaining the value of photographic art today.
