Why It Does Not Have To Be In Focus: Modern Photography Explained (2013), Jackie Higgins
Jackie Higgins is a writer, filmmaker and journalist, often exploring a variety of subjects through her practice.
In this book, Higgins explains modern photography through looking at 100 key photographs from within the last 20 years, examining their inspirations and processes for each piece of work. ome images are purposefully over exposed, out of focus and composed badly, and so Higgins unpicks the possible meanings and levels to the somewhat controversial images that, as the audience, we might have had different expectations of.
This book proves that there’s more to photography than simply pointing a camera somewhere and clicking the shutter, and that not all images require conventional perfection.
