| book description |

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. Foodâ€™s complexity of form and meaningâ€”and the fact that itâ€™s often at handâ€”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, and this is the first book to cover food photographyâ€™s rich historyâ€”not only in fine art photography, but also in crossover genres such as commercial and scientific photography and photojournalism. Susan Brightâ€™s introduction and commentary accompanying the photographs bring insight and intelligence to this spectacular subject, and trace the progression of the genre from photographyâ€™s beginnings to present day, featuring artists from all erasâ€”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 to provide an essential primer.
