History of Photography From A Different Perspective

These two books Photography A Cultural History by Mary Warner Marien and A World History of Photography by Naomi Rosenblum are books that survey photography's vast history.

In Photography A Cultural History Mary Warner Marien keeps photography's cultural impact close at hand as she pulls back the many layers of photograph's past.

Naomi Rosenblum once again strays away from the mainstream study of the history of photography with her book A World History of Photography and thankfully so. This book shines the light on many non-western photographers who helped shape photography's colourful history.

These books are located in the Learning Resource Centre.
