"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. This book covers 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 traces 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. Susan Bright is a curator and writer. She has authored numerous books including Art Photography Now (2005) and Face of Fashion (2007)"--Provided by publisher.
