The Book of Images comes as a true storm, full of ideas on how to think differently about photography and context. How they can blend with each other, enhance each other or clash with each other, creating an adventure that goes far beyond basic, passive viewing.
Images on buildings, under water, up in the sky, printed, projected, still, moving, tiny or extremely large. You can touch them, smell them, play with them and immerse in them. This is a celebration of photography in its greatest form. Learn how to look differently and see more, and get inspired by this book on how to SHOW photography.
