In this volume of The Photography Workshop Series, Graciela
Iturbide--known for her portraits and landscapes imbued with poetic
ambiguity and documentary truth--explores photographing in ways that
employ a deeply personal vision, while also reflecting subjects' rich
cultural backgrounds.
Aperture works with the world's top photographers to distill their
creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography--offering
the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers
of all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers
interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography.
Through images and words, Iturbide shares her creative process and
artistic inspirations, and discusses a wide range of issues, from the
importance of surprise and recognizing what speaks to you, to capturing
symbolism and meaning in the everyday.
