What makes a photograph become part of our collective memory? Sometimes it can simply be the content of the image, but more often it is the skill and talent of the photographer, their professionalism, that makes it a visual reference.
This book explores the work of 100 great photographers of all time to reveal the secrets of how they were created and give us the magic of their craft so that we can transfer it to our own creations. Organized into ten thematic blocks, each one of them presents a transversal selection of emblematic photographs that are technically analyzed addressing issues such as the camera and the lenses used to take the photograph, composition, exposure and light or tone and color.
From Eugène Atget and Nadar to Martin Parr, Rineke Dijkstra or Jeff Wall, passing through August Sanders, Weegee or Paul Strand... the book also becomes a unique history of the photographic medium that manages to teach us technique and creativity in an accessible and surprising way.
