Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 0500543992. With b/w & coloured decorated half title, plates & illustrations. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket.; "Magnum Contact Sheets" presents an exceptional behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of some of the world's leading photographers, members of the prestigious Magnum Photos agency. This book reveals the 'contact sheets' of Magnum photographers, allowing readers to see the sequence of images shot at any given moment and understand how photographers refine their vision from the multiple exposures to select the single image that best captures the essence of a moment. It includes iconic photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and contemporary figures, providing insights into each photographer's method and thought process. The book offers not only a glimpse into the history of photojournalism but also serves as an invaluable teaching tool on photographic composition, the editing process, and the importance of context in visual storytelling. "Magnum Contact Sheets" was a part of Chris Steele-Perkins' extensive photography book collection. As an integral member of Magnum Photos, Steele-Perkins had a deep connection to the ethos and history encapsulated in this book. His work, which often explores profound themes of societal and cultural dynamics, aligns with the book's emphasis on the painstaking process of capturing and selecting meaningful images. Through his role in Magnum, Steele-Perkins contributed to the tradition of deep, narrative-driven photojournalism that "Magnum Contact Sheets" exemplifies. Owning this book reflected his appreciation for the craft of photography and his commitment to the agency's collective mission of telling impactful, human stories through images. His collection, including works like this, underscores his dedication to understanding and conveying complex human experiences, a core value at the heart of Magnum's mission.; 34.6 x 29 x 4.8 cms; 508 pages.
