An Illustrated History of Snapshot Photography by John Wade

An Illustrated History of Snapshot Photography by John Wade

The arrival of the first snapshot camera in Victorian times bred a new kind of photographer, one who might never before have thought of owning a camera, but for whom the ability to take pictures without any previous experience offered a new liberation. The way snapshot cameras and the pictures they took evolved through the following years and into today's digital age is what this book is all about. With more than 200 mono pictures and sixteen pages of colour, it examines how different types of snapshot camera opened up opportunities to shoot new kinds of picture; reveals the dubious way in which snapshot photographers were once perceived; shows how to identify where and when certain snapshots were taken; looks at the role of professional snapshot photographers; examines the part snapshots have played in social history; and explains why yesterday's snapshots are still so important today.
