Facing the Light by Sara Stevenson
The photographs of David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson taken in the years between 1843 and 1847 marked the first use of photography as an art form. Their fascinating and inventive work has influenced great photographers worldwide. This book, written by Sara Stevenson, chief curator of the Scottish National Photography Collection, which holds the largest and finest collection of Hill and Adamson's photographs, provides an introduction to the remarkable story behind the partnership.
