9780473150945_large

A new book of extraordinary artworks and interviews by their creators,PhotoWisdom is due for release in December, compiling not only the images of master photographers, but their challenges, methods and motivations.

Curated by renowned photographer, author and former creative head of Getty Images, Lewis Blackwell, the book brings together award-winning photojournalists to celebrity shooters; politicised environmentalists to elusive artists. Works from such prominent names as Andrew Zuckerman, Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Chuck Close, David Goldblatt, David La Chapelle, Erwin Olaf, Jill Greenberg, Phil Toledano and Steve Pyke are but a few artists who have participated in the project.

While being a comprehensive resource on contemporary photography, the book also contributes to the innovative charity, PhotoVoice, which assists marginalised communities by providing photographic training and cameras. The organisation helps disadvantaged peoples express themselves, advocate for issues affecting them, and also offer the possibility of income.
