Book description
Today it's routine to take photos from an aeroplane window, use a camera under the sea or gaze at an X-ray. But the innovations more than a century ago that made such things possible were incredible and sometimes dangerous, and the innovators often memorable eccentrics. In this absorbing mix of science, art and social history, Anika Burgess describes early aerial photography experiments with balloons, kites and pigeons; reveals how photographers first captured the surface of the moon, the bottom of the sea and the structure of snowflakes; recounts the race to photograph motion and how it led to moving pictures; and delves into photography's social effects.Richly illustrated and filled with fascinating tales, Flashes of Brilliance shows how the rise of a new art form transformed culture and our view of the world.
