Looking at Photography
by Stephen Frailey
Inspired by John Szarkowski’s 1973 'Looking at Photographs', and paying homage to the concept of the one hundred images and a page of text for each, Stephen Frailey now updates this classic with significant works of photography from mid-70s to the present.
'Looking at Photography' covers all genres of photography, and through discussing the significance of the individual works Frailey – as photographer, editor and educator - articlulates the themes and sensibilities of contemporary photography.
The book is illustrated with major works by acclaimed artists such as Tina Barney, Ellen Carey, Jeff Wall, Steven Meisel, Nan Goldin, Helmut Newton, Martin Parr, Tim Walker, Wolfgang Tillmans, among others.
Stephen Frailey, Chair of the Photography and Video Department at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York from 1998 to 2018, is now Chair Emeritus. In 2012 he co-founded the Graduate MPS Fashion Photography program at SVA, he is currently the Director of Education for Red Hook Labs in Brooklyn.
