Looking at Photographs, written by French professor and editor Laurent Jullier. Looking at Photographs is a structured introductory guide to developing new and more in-depth ways of looking at photographs, whether as a spectator or practitioner – or just when taking photos with your smartphone.
Through seven chapters, Laurent Jullier discusses themes and concepts essential to understanding the medium, including: photography as a reflection of reality; manipulation and defamiliarization; focus, perspective and space; time and the moment; identity, portraits and selfies; the power of images.
Laurent Jullier is a professor at the Institut Européen de Cinéma et d'Audiovisuel and editor of the journal Mise Au Point. He teaches visual cultural studies and has written several books and articles.
