Photography Beyond Technique: Essays from F295
Tom Persinger has pulled together a compelling book of 20 essays by 21 photographers. Each piece began as a lecture delivered at one of the previous F295 conferences and Persinger worked with them to transform that raw material into an engaging essay.
Each contributor in the book was selected based on how they provided information around the following three questions:
1. Why do these contemporary artists utilize alternative, historical, or handmade photographic processes and techniques.
2. How does these methods enable the further articulation of their narrative?
3. From where do these artists draw inspiration and ideas?
