Description

A now classic text on the art, Why People Photograph gathers a selection of essays by the great master photographer Robert Adams, tackling such diverse subjects as collectors, humor, teaching, money and dogs. Adams also writes brilliantly on Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Laura Gilpin, Judith Joy Ross, Susan Meiselas, Michael Schmidt, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Eugène Atget. The book closes with two essays on "working conditions" in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century American West, and the essay "Two Landscapes." Adams writes: At our best and most fortunate we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honor what is greater and more interesting than we are.

Editorial Reviews

"With the publication of Beauty in Photography and Why People Photograph Robert Adams established himself as one of the most important and eloquent writers on photography."--Sarah Greenough, National Gallery of Art


"Beyond his fabled skill as a photographer, Adams is an excellent writer. [Why People Photograph] is a book I would recommend to anyone taken with the art of photography."--Charles Desmarais, San Francisco Chronicle
