Documenting human life and events has long preoccupied photographers, and given them wonderfully varied and challenging subject matter. This book brings together a striking collection of black and white images from a leading selection of international photographers and through them Terry Hope explores the techniques and thought processes behind the art of photojournalism. The result is a mix of vital first-hand information and fine photography, indeed as the author declares in the introduction, "this is a book that"s as much about images as it as about technique".
