Talking about the Content Introduction of Photography

On Photography is not only a classic work about photographers, but also a classic work about modern culture in a broad sense. It is not a professional work, and there are not many photographic terms in the book, but for those who are really interested in photography, almost everyone has one. Its targets are mainly intellectuals, writers and intellectuals.

Sontag deeply discussed the essence of photography, including whether photography is art, the interaction between photography and painting, the relationship between photography and the real world, and the predatory and aggressive nature of photography. On the surface, photography reflects reality, but in fact, photographic images are a world of their own, an image world, trying to replace the real world.

For readers, the richness and profundity of this book lies not in what conclusion Sontag has drawn, but in her discussion process and anatomical method. This is a discussion, a calm and sharp anatomy. Wonderful, dazzling. Sontag has always been famous for her serious style, but her sarcasm has also been fully played in this book.

On Photography, published in 1977, caused a sensation and widespread discussion, and won the National Book Review Award in that year, which is still known as the "Bible of Photography".

Based on more than 60 photos of Zhang Zhengui in the history of photography, a "illustrated collection book" with great artistic taste and collection value is launched, making On Photography a truly illustrated cultural classic.
