Product Description "Everything in the world must be shown and people around the world must have an idea of what's happening to the other people around the world. I believe this is a function of the vector that the documentary photographer must have, to show one person's existence to another."—Sebastião Salgado Illustrated with a compelling image from each photographer, Witness in Our Time traces the recent history of social documentary photography in the words of twenty-two of the genre's best photographers, editors, and curators, showing that the profession remains vital, innovative, and committed to social change. Featuring interviews with Hansel Mieth, Walter Rosenblum, Michelle Vignes, Wayne Miller, Peter Magubane, Matt Herron, Jill Freedman, Mary Ellen Mark, Earl Dotter, Eugene Richards, Susan Meiselas, Sebastião Salgado, Graciela Iturbide, Antonin Kratochvil, Donna Ferrato, Joseph Rodriguez, Dayanita Singh, Fazal Sheikh, Gifford Hampshire, Peter Howe, Colin Jacobson, and Ann Wilkes Tucker | ||

Must read! This book is a great read for anyone interested in photography an photojournalism. You cant beat the first hand accounts in this book, they are great! | ||
Great book This was a book that was required for a photojournalism course. It's a great book that has a lot of great recommendations and information. The book is great for all photographers. It gives you a different way to look at your work and the way your creating it. I definitely recommend this book for photographers. Who knew, a required book for a class that's actually a good read! | ||
Should be required Photography reading! This book introduced me to many documentary photographers that were ignored by my art school. I am glad to have discovered it and have shared it with friends. The author, Ken Light, is also a photographer and has completed many excellent documentary projects, most notably Texas Death Row. Very inspiring! | ||
Brief Covers many famous photojournalists but each coverage is very light and the details are not interesting enough. | ||
I need a new copy This will be the second time I'm buying this book. I've lent it out to one of my staff and somewhere down the line it's disappeared. I think that's says a lot about this book. It's nice to have around to read through on a Saturday morning with a mug of coffee or flip through for inspiration. It has definitely helped not only the way I see the world, but with my own photography. | ||
