On Photography

As "The Times" said, this books offers food for thought to satisfy the appetite.

A brilliant writing by Susan on varied aspects of the art and science of photography. She delves into the significance of photography in modern world discussing great photographers worldwide. A must read book for people wanting to know intellectual and social angles of photography.

for people that don't possess prior knowledge of the history and how-who-since-when of photography. you'll find yourself spending more time googling names, years, events, photographs, etc than reading the book itself.i expected more of Sontag's personal opinions on the a-z of photography, instead it's 70% event/ year/ photographer name-dropping and only 30% of her 'interpretation/ analysis' of the same.but for her bold opinions, eccentric views, strong control of pace and poetic writing in an extremely simplified form, i give this book a 4/5.

I bought this for my mother and it absolutely did not disappoint. For an english literature major who is now figuring out the joys of digital photography from her phone, this book was the first she picked up from the birthday pile.With the empowering tools everyone has in this age to become photographers, this book changes the way you think and how photographs have such a deeper subconscious impact in the way we see ourselves and the world.

Book is good , gives perspective towards photography

Very good packing! Good work!

Good book

Susan Sontag's groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere, and the 'insatiability of the photographing eye' has profoundly altered our relationship with the world

AWESOME

Excelente lectura. Contiene ensayos sobre la importancia, incidencia y relevancia de la fotografía en nuestros días. Sontag es sin duda una de las mejores ensayistas en distintas áreas (cine, literatura o fotografía).

Susan Santag ci ha mostrato vari casi che usiamo le foto. Questo libro mi ha aiutato molto per la mia tesi sulla fotografia. Tutti pensiamo di saper fare le foto, ma bisogna pensare bene prima di fare quel "clic".

Susan Sontag·s essay on photography is a deep theoretical study .It is no easy reading,it needs to be read and read again to really get the messages.I first read it about 35 years ago and it is like a reunion with a good old friend.Everyone and anyone who is interested in photo graphy shoud read it several times as itis also very entertaining.It blows my mind ever since I first read it.

Produit conforme et envoi soigné.Il est difficile de ne pas avoir à lire Susan Sontag lorsque l'on étudie l'histoire des idées sur les représentations visuelles.Je n'ai pas encore pu m'aventurer assez loin dans ce livre afin de donner une critique constructive mais je suis très satisfait de ce que j'ai lu. Cela en vaut largement son prix !Merci Amazon !
