THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S CHOICE

"Dad, what is a photographer?" My daughter went straight to the point that has been puzzling me for years. This book focuses on the photographer, his experience and his choices. Following an empirical method, the book explains photography as a unique opportunity that challenges our ability to interact, observe, and decide in a real, undetermined environment. On this account, the book also presents visual fanaticism as the force behind the abrupt displacement of real photographic records with virtual impostors. For this purpose, the book defines what makes a photograph a photograph and why it must be named accordingly.
