Charlotte Cotton, The Photograph as Contemporary Art.

In the past 9 months, this book has become my little hand book. It has SO much information in it, it's amazing. It makes everything accessible and understandable and covers so many aspects of contemporary photography. It is certainly one that I recommend!

One chapter that i have looked at in seminars at uni is 'Once Upon a Time' which is the 2nd chapter of the book. Here, Cotton discusses the way in which photographers apply narrative to their images. She flows from one piece of work to another making it a very easy and comprehendible read - I really cant stress how valid this book will be to any one studying photography or art, and can be bought so cheaply on amazon!
