"Only recently has fashion photography been accurately seen as an important medium within contemporary visual culture: it has evolved from a mere supporting role of reproduction into a creator of icons and ideas, and a veritable form of art.

Italian Eyes not only shines a much-deserved light on Italians who have made photographic ..."

"A book devoted to the Chinese artist famous for his photography work. Chen’s multimedia works toe the line between experimental illusion and the quotidian realities of contemporary society, focusing on the almost imperceptible dream sequences that exist in even the most mundane of moments.
