<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Food has been a much-photographed subject throughout the history of photography, across genres, including art and advertising. This is the first book to survey the rich history of food in photography, and the photographers who developed new ways of describing food in pictures. Through key images, Susan Bright explores the important figures and movements of food photography to provide an essential primer, from the earliest photographers to contemporary artists.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From basic sustenance to savory repasts, food awakens the senses and touches both private and public life. It can be political, religious, aspirational, commercial, creative, symbolic, national, and regional. Food's complexity of form and meaning--and the fact that it's often at hand--have made it a much-photographed subject throughout the history of photography. Interest in both food photography and food as a subject has risen in recent years, and this is the first book to cover food photography's rich history--not only in fine art photography, but also in crossover genres such as commercial and scientific photography and photojournalism. Susan Bright's introduction and commentary accompanying the photographs bring insight and intelligence to this spectacular subject, and trace the progression of the genre from photography's beginnings to present day, featuring artists from all eras--Roger Fenton, Nickolas Muray, Edward Weston, Irving Penn, Stephen Shore, Laura Letinsky, Wolfgang Tillmans, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Martin Parr, to name a few. Through key pictures, Bright explores the important figures and movements of food photography to provide an essential primer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>For the first time ever, images of, about, and reimagining what we eat have been compiled into one comprehensive, mouthwatering tome.--<i>Food & Wine</i><br><br>This is one of the most exciting food books I've seen in years.--Amanda Hesser, Food52<br><br>"A gorgeous new coffee table book is an historical and artistic look at what we eat."--<i>Food & Wine</i><br>
