What is it that makes some photographs stay in our memory forever? Sometimes it is the subject itself, but more often it is the artistry of the photographers who captured them. The premise of this stunning book is simple: 100 top examples of work by some of the world's greatest photographers, with a distinguished academic describing how they achieved their results, allowing you to recreate them yourself. Discover how to compose 'decisive moments' like Cartier-Bresson, use long exposures for landscapes like Simon Norfolk, and experiment with daytime flash like Rineke Dijkstra.

The images are thematically organized, with interesting analyses of each image and a description of its technique, as well as biographical details of each artist. The book presents 100 of the most significant images in the history of art and will provide an indispensable guide to the techniques behind well-known masterpieces and hidden gems in the world of photography. The photographers and their images were carefully selected by award-winning photographer, educator, and academic Paul Lowe, whose years of experience as a photojournalist and educator offer unique and detailed insights into the working methods of these great image creators.
