Photography of the Age: Newspaper photography in Australia Review

Photography of the Age: Newspaper photography in Australia Overview

Who decides what's news? How do the images we see in our newspapers affect our views of the world?

Socially, photography is the most powerful visual art of the 20th century. This book, using contemporary images from The Age, and with the help of its editorial and pictorial staff, takes us through the processes of commissioning, selecting and placing images in a breathing, working newspaper.

Part One explains the work of compiling the daily news and the deadlines which photographers must meet; technology and appropriate film and equipment; the role of the pictorial editor; and how page layouts and readerships interact. The legal and moral implications of publishing photographs where the public's right to know and the individual's right to privacy seem at odds is also discussed.

Part Two analyses in depth a representative sample of the work of 25 newspaper photographers. Individual statements from the photographers alongside examples of their work provide a personal overview of their profession.
