• What kind of a photograph is worthy of being hung on a wall in The Photographers’ Gallery in London?
• What advice would art book publisher Gerhard Steidl give to a budding photographer?
Image Makers, Image Takers is the first book to examine systematically what inspires today’s photographers and what it is that makes them succeed. It reveals how some of the world’s most established photographers, from art, documentary, fashion, advertising and portraiture, actually work, and explores what it is that picture editors, curators, gallerists, agency directors and art book publishers are looking for when choosing an image.
Anne-Celine Jaeger delves into the working practice of famous photographers, unveiling the mysterious process of artistic creation involved in making and taking a photograph.
Whether it is basic questions of what to look for in an image, views on cropping or the use of colour over black-and-white, the shapers and makers of taste provide a unique and indispensable account of their working methods.
Anne-Celine Jaeger is a journalist and critic who has written for many publications, including Wallpaper*, the London Times and the Guardian, as well as the Süddeutsche Zeitung and Art Investor magazine in Germany. She first became fascinated by photography at the age of six – she later graduated from the University of Oxford and then City University, London.
