| Summary: | In this handsome book, leading photography curator Athol McCredie tells the story of the beginnings of contemporary photography, also known as art photography, in New Zealand. Through interviews with the photographers Gary Baigent, Richard Collins, John Daley, John Fields, Max Oettli, John B Turner, Len Wesney and Ans Westra and accompanied by an outstanding introductory essay, McCredie shows how the breakthrough approach of personal documentary photography created a new field of photography in New Zealand that was not simply illustrative but rather spoke for itself and with its own language. |
