Davor KonjikuSic offers an in-depth presentation and contextualization of the photographs created by Yugoslav partisans between 1941 and 1945. The book goes beyond an aesthetic depiction of the photographs; it also deals with the history of their use and function within one of the biggest anti-fascist movements in Europe during the Second World War. The photographs are used to trace the development of a movement that-while seemingly doomed to certain failure-nevertheless survived the most destructive war in human history. This book provides new answers to the question of photography's role as a medium and its significance and use in social movements.

Drawing on over 40 years of practical experience, best-selling author and photographer Michael Freeman examines the most fundamental building-blocks of photography - light and shadow - bringing this key element of the picture-making process into the 21st century.In this book, Freeman takes a new and different view of photography's prime commodity, arguing that for the photographer, the rich and evocative world of shadows is the full equal of the actual light that casts them and bathes scenes. He defines the varied qualities of both light and shadows (of which there are at least ten distinct types), and shows how they have particular meaning and purpose. He also argues for integrating exposure and processing with an appreciation of light and shadow quality so as to have full and subtle control. Armed with this understanding and these techniques, the creative photographer can work with light and shadow to add depth and quality to imagery.- All new content from the master of photography guides- Concise and easy-to-follow format clearly explains the fundamentals of light and shadow - For the first time ever, both light and shadow are given equal weight in the discussion of photographic image-making- Real-life examples, clearly illustrated, cut through the jargon and show the theory of light and shadow in practice

Nel 1955, un anno fatidico per la storia della fotografia, usciva, perlopiù ignorata, la Kriegsfibel di Bertolt Brecht, un libro composto da versi e immagini fotografiche che il drammaturgo aveva raccolto da riviste illustrate durante il suo esilio dalla Germania nazista, conservando talvolta anche le didascalie. Per la sua densità teorica e le sue inquietanti implicazioni contemporanee, esso rappresenta un caso editoriale sempre più frequentato dagli studiosi interessati ai meccanismi della propaganda, agli usi ideologici e alla ricezione delle immagini di guerra. La Kriegsfibel enuncia in modo inequivocabile i propri intenti: "questo libro vuole insegnare l'arte di leggere le immagini". Ma sotto molti aspetti tratta la fotografia come un oggetto puramente strumentale, rispondendole con una critica radicale del nesso tra capitalismo, riproducibilità tecnica e società di massa. Questo saggio ne esamina strategie e luoghi sintomatici, verificandone la portata teorica in rapporto a una serie di casi - precedenti, coevi e successivi cruciali per la storia e la teoria fotografica.
