"Ever since Roger Fenton inaugurated the genre by photographing the Crimean War in 1855, the world's great photojournalists have used a variety of approaches to bear witness to their times. At one end of the photojournalistic spectrum are war photographers like Robert Capa and Larry Burrows, who capture the most extreme events of human existence as they happen; at the other are social documentarians like Lewis Hine and Sebastiao Salgado, who step back from the single dramatic incident to cover in depth such economic and cultural issues as labor and migration. By compiling 250 of the most compelling images from these and other acclaimed photographers, Photojournalism 1855 to the Present provides an introduction to the entire range of the field." "Author Reuel Golden, senior editor of Photo District News and a noted authority on photojournalism, selected the fifty-four photographers featured in this book based on their critical reputations and historical importance. For each photographer, Golden provides a portfolio of representative images - many reproduced at full-page size - as well as a brief biography and an insightful critical commentary on his or her career. From Frank Hurley's World War I battlefield shots to Mary Ellen Mark's stark portraits of American poverty and James Nachtwey's haunting pictures of the September 11 attacks, the images in this book remind us of the undiminished power of the still photograph."--BOOK JACKET.
