More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The events of the past few years, from 9/11 to the South Asian tsunami disaster, have once again shown us that despite round-the-clock news coverage, the Internet and multi-channel cable TV, the still image is as powerful as ever. Photography remains the ideal tool for capturing human emotion, drama and tragedy. "Photojournalism" features evocative and stirring images from the world's greatest photojournalists, providing a history of the medium. Starting with some of the first key figures such as Roger Fenton, who photographed the Crimean War with a bulky large-format camera, it moves on through the decades covering defining events in our history, from the Great Depression to space missions, the dismantling of the Berlin Wall and the war in Iraq.

Proof Positive That One Picture is Worth...
15 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
Published by England's Carlton Books in 2011, Reuel Golden's PHOTOJOURNALISM, 150 YEARS OF OUTSTANDING PHOTOGRAPHY offers up stirring photographic images from the Crimean War to the 9/11 attacks and beyond. Filled with often iconic snaps by legends like Alexander Gardner, Margaret Bourke-White, Robert Capa, Dorothea Lange, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Larry Burrows and Henri Cartier-Bresson, PHOTOJOURNALISM is a striking confirmation of the impact photography can have on humankind.
Golden's book features over 270 b&w and color images alpabetically arranged by photographer. The first artist featured is Dmitri Baltermants, a Russian photographer whose WW II images earned him the accolade of being the 'Soviet Capa.' The final photog covered is Li Zhensheng known for his revealing images of Mao's Cultural Revolution.
In between the two are memorable images of death, destruction, war, shell-shocked humanity from around the world, rioting, doctors attending to patients, vacationers, eclipse watchers, immigrants to America, famous and infamous politicians, moments of spontaneous joy and celebration, grief, Norman Rockwell moments and so on taken by Frank Hurley, Felice Beato, Gerd Ludwig, Roger Fenton, Tod Stoddart, Henryk Ross, Mary Ellen Mark and other news photographers
As much as I enjoyed Golden's book, I wonder if it would have been more useful to present the photographers' work in a chronological arrangement.
In any case, PHOTOJOURNALISM is both a compelling collection of stirring images and a tribute to the talented photographers who snapped those images. Recommended.
