The first edition of \u003ci\u003eMagnum Contact Sheets\u003c\/i\u003e was one of them. This exceptional book, presented here in a new, accessible, and democratically priced format for the first time, reveals how Magnum photographers capture and edit the very best shots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing key questions of photographic practice—was the final image a set-up, or a serendipitous encounter; did the photographer work diligently to extract the potential from a situation, or was the fabled 'decisive moment' at play?—this book lays bare the creative methods, strategies, and editing processes behind some of the world's most iconic images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e139 contact sheets, representing 69 photographers, are featured, as well as zoom-in details, selected photographs, press cards, notebooks, and spreads from contemporary publications, including \u003ci\u003eLife\u003c\/i\u003e magazine and \u003ci\u003ePicture Post\u003c\/i\u003e. Further insight into each contact sheet is provided by texts written by the photographers themselves or by experts chosen by members' estates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany acknowledged greats of photography are included, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliot Erwitt, and Inge Morath, as well as Magnum's latest generation, such as Jonas Bendiksen, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Alec Soth. These photographers cover over seventy years of history, from the Normandy landings by Robert Capa, the Paris riots of 1968 by Bruno Barbey, and war in Chechnya by Thomas Dworzak to images of Che Guevara by Rene Burri, Malcolm X by Eve Arnold, and classic New Yorkers by Bruce Gilden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis landmark book, published just as the shift to digital photography threatens to render the contact sheet obsolete, celebrates the sheet as artifact, as personal and historic record, as invaluable editing tool, and as a fascinating way of accompanying great photographers as they work towards, and capture, the most enduring images of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596860244204,"sku":"9780500292914","price":132.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9e854298817aba7e003da359f1e7cae7.jpg?v=1777955788","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/magnum-contact-sheets-by-kristen-lubben-9780500292914","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
