Primitive Photography considers the hand-made photographic process in its entirety, showing the reader how to make box-cameras, lenses, paper negatives and salt prints, using inexpensive tools and materials found in most hardware and art-supply stores. Step-by-step procedures are presented alongside theoretical explanations and historical background. Streamlined calotype procedures are demonstrated, featuring different paper negative processes and overlooked, developing-out printing methods. Primitive Photography combines the simplicity of pinhole photography, the handmade quality of alternative processes, and the precision of large-format. For those seeking alternatives to commercially prepared material as well as digital photography, it provides the instructions for creating the entire photographic process from the ground up. Given its scope and treatment of the photographic process as a whole, this may be the first book of its kind to appear in over a century.

Photography is not dying and has not died. It has been an ever-changing medium since its earliest days, and while near-obsession with the technology of the day may have defined photography over the course of its existence, photography is so much more than hardware and software. Photography is communication, whether chemical or digital, tangible or ephemeral in form. Photography Beyond Technique is a compelling selection of essays and images that reveal the thoughts and methods of some of today’s most exciting contemporary photographers. These artists employ alternative, historical, or handmade processes and techniques, and they share a comprehensive view of the medium: that the choice of photographic process is just as important as the selection of subjects. While other books concentrate solely on process, or theory, or artistic intent, none focus on photography in which these decisions are considered inseparable. These 20 essays, originally presented at the annual F295 symposium and seminar series, provide a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in photography as an art form and as a medium through which to view the world. Includes: "Looking Backward, Seeing Forward: Reframing Visual History" by Robert Hirsch "Mystery, Memory, and Narrative" by Martha Casanave "Finding Confidence: Combining Process with Purpose" by Mark Osterman "Photograph, Material, and Metaphor" by Jerry Spagnoli

Photography and anthropology share strikingly parallel histories. Christopher Pinney's provocative and eminently readable account provides a polemical narrative of anthropologists' use of photography from the 1840s to the present. Walter Benjamin suggested that photography 'make[s] the difference between technology and magic visible as a thoroughly historical variable, ' and Pinney here explores photography as a divinatory practice. Though viewed as modern and rational, this quality of photography in fact propelled anthropologists towards the 'primitive' lives of those they studied. Early anthropology celebrated photography as a physical record, whose authority and permanence promised an escape from the lack of certainty in speech. For later anthropologists, this same quality became grounds to critique an imaging practice that failed to capture movement and process. But throughout these twists and turns, anthropology as a practice of 'being there' has found itself entwined in an intimate engagement with photography as metaphor for the collection of evidence. Photography and Anthropology reveals how anthropology provides the tools to re-imagine the power and magic of all photographic practices. It presents both a history of anthropology's seduction by photography and the anthropological theory of photography. This thoroughly researched book draws upon an intimate knowledge of the history of anthropology, photography and the world's major anthropological practitioners.

As digital cameras and software packages become more advanced, seemingly by the minute, it has become easier than ever to overlook the basic elements which have always resulted in the best photographs, no matter how fancy (or primitive) the camera itself. Composition is the single most important aspect of creating great images, no matter what level of photographer you happen to be. No amount of digital wizardry can turn a badly composed image into a picture you would want to display. While many books on composition tend to overcomplicate the subject, this book breaks down everything you need to know into small, digestible chunks of information that you will actually remember once you're out and about taking pictures. Instead of plodding through long and complex pages of text, this book supplements the necessary information, such as the basics of the rule of thirds and how to get good highlights and shadows, with tons of gorgeous, full color images that actually show you what to do and how to do it, rather than just telling you what to try. You'll be amazed at the gorgeous images you'll create, whether your passion is for photographing your family, pets, travel adventures, nature, or anything else.

Les arts dits « premiers » ont eu, on le sait, un impact important sur la peinture et la sculpture du XXe siècle. Mais qu’en est-il pour la photographie ? Ce médium a joué un rôle essentiel dans la transformation de l’objet ethnographique en objet esthétique. De plus, nombre des plus grands artistes-photographes des XXe et XXIe siècles ont mis en scène des sculptures « primitives » dans leurs oeuvres : Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, mais aussi, dans d’autres styles, Hannah Höch, Brassaï et, plus près de nous, Orlan, Hughes Dubois et Nicolas Bruant. Ces apparitions sont-elles des phénomènes isolés ou bien font-elles partie d’une tendance de fond qui se serait développée dans l’univers photographique ? Quelles inspirations les photographes ont-ils puisées dans les arts extra-européens ? De quels sens les ont-ils investis, que leur ont-ils permis d’exprimer ? Et dans quelle mesure leurs images ont-elles changé notre regard sur les cultures non occidentales ? Valentine Plisnier a rassemblé une vaste iconographie, qui s’avère d’une très grande ampleur esthétique et historique : dès la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale et jusqu’à aujourd’hui, de l’Europe aux Amériques du Nord et du Sud en passant par l’Asie, les objets « primitifs » ont été utilisés dans des contextes différents et au sein de moments constitutifs de la modernité photographique, en particulier par les avant-gardes qui ont fait de la photographie un support de création. Aussi variées soient-elles, les démarches artistiques qui se les approprient se ramènent à trois grandes tendances, liées chacune à un traité photographique. Dans les photomontages, des images fragmentaires d’objets « primitifs » sont introduites pour créer une distanciation visant à remettre en question les valeurs de la culture occidentale et leur suprématie. Dans les photographies, la mise scène de la rencontre entre l’homme et l’objet cultuel figure une humanité qui s’interroge sur elle-même et se cherche de nouveaux repères. Enfin, à travers l’exploration d’autres techniques et traitements photographiques (grattage, photogrammes...), se distinguent des artistes qui restituent ou rivalisent avec la puissance visuelle des arts « primitifs ».

Defining photography is impossible. Revealing it is another matter, and that's what The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography does, with each turn of the page. History: The technical origins and evolution of photography are half of the story. The other half consists of the ways that cultural forces have transformed photography into a constellation of practices more diverse than any other mode of representation. Photographers can tell a more in-depth story through a photo like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother than a journalist ever could with the written word alone. Major themes and practitioners: Over 25 entries, many with supporting illustrations, examine the figures, trends, and ideas that have contributed most heavily to the history and current state of photography. Contemporary issues: The issues influencing photography today are more complex than at any other time in its history. Questions of ethics, desire, perception, digitization, and commercialization all vie for attention. Hear what the experts have to say about crucial issues such as whether or not the images we take today will last the test of time, and if so, how? When material is covered this skillfully, "concise is no compromise. The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography is packed with useful information, compelling ideas, and - best of all - pure pleasure.
