Product Description:
Language has always been central to the meaning and exploitation of photographic images. However, the various types and "styles" of language associated with different photographic genres have been largely overlooked. This book considers the nature of photography, examining the language used in titles, captions and commentaries, particularly as they relate to documentary photography, photojournalism and fashion photography.
The Spoken Image addresses the question of how the photograph communicates its message, with or without the aid of language. The book looks at the work of film-makers such as Antonioni and Greenaway to contrast filmic methods of narration with those of photography. Scott concludes that photography has arrived at a level of communicative sophistication equal to that of modern textual narratives, in conjunction with which it often works.
Summary: Well done Clive!
Rating: 5
As a crazed reader of much photographic literature I was delighted to see what Bell thought was most worth addressing. He's provided thoughtful and comprehensive insights about the value and meaning of imagery in our culture. I appreciated his straightforward style and his managed ways of dealing with intricacies and subtleties of narrative and visual literacy.
His bibliography is a great resource in itself!
