The Photographer as Autobiographer, Paperback / softback Book

The Photographer as Autobiographer Paperback / softback

Part of the Palgrave Studies in Life Writing series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book explores hybrid memoirs, combining text and images, authored by photographers.

It contextualizes this sub-category of life writing from a historical perspective within the overall context of life writing, before taking a structural and cognitive approach to the text/image relationship.

While autobiographers use photographs primarily for their illustrative or referential function, photographers have a much more complex interaction with pictures in their autobiographical accounts.

This book explores how the visual aspect of a memoir may drastically alter the reader’s response to the work, but also how, in other cases, the visual parts seem disconnected from the text or underused.
