An introduction to theories of representation and visual analysis and how they can be applied to photography. Introducing the development of photography and different approaches to reading images, the book looks at elements such as identity, gaze, psychoanalysis, voyeurism, and aesthetics. Visual examples illustrate the text and case studies, and brief activity points allow readers to apply relevant theories to their own practice.
