Slight spine lean, o/wise a fine copy. Very light DJ edgewear. Essays by Leah Bendavid-Val, Stuart Franklin, Sam Abell, Jodi Cobb, William Albert Allard, David Alan Harvery. "Spanning well over a century, In Focus is divided into periods that correspond roughly to changes in photographic equipment and techniques, from the cumbersome cameras and long exposures of early days to the advent of color film and the lightweight, versatile modern gear that fostered a new, informal spontaneity in portraiture. The book traces the evolving roles and goals of photographers themselves, and offers revealing insights on how their work both reflects and influences how we see ourselves and our world.
