PHOTOFILE: Joel-Peter Witkin
19 × 12.5 × 1 cm€14.10Read moreWith his focus on the “disagreeable beauty” of the anomalous and the transgressive, Joel-Peter Witkin’s images are edgy and disturbing.

Photography a Critical Introduction: Liz Wells
24.7 × 19 × 2 cm€24.99Read moreSurveying the spectrum of photography from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, Photography: A Critical Introduction is the first book to examine key debates in photographic theory and place them in their proper social and political contexts.
