Description

This book explores how some of the world's greatest photographers take, edit and lay out pictures. Using the 'photo story' as a vehicle to explain their approach, the book features work by 61 members of the prestigious Magnum photo agency. The book spans a variety of photographic genres such as war and documentary photography, photojournalism, social realism, portraiture, landscapes, fashion and news. Magnum Stories explores the influences that have affected the photo story and how it has been utilized, published and adapted by key events and publications such as Newsweek, Time and Paris Match, which have helped define the genre. This book provides a unique and in-depth reflection on the course of photography during the second half of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.
