The very first photographs of the nineteenth century were produced without the use of a camera. Now available in an updated and fully revised edition, Shadow Catchers surveys the work of five leading practitioners - Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neususs - who, by casting shadows on light-sensitive paper or by chemically manipulating its surface, capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. Today, having rediscovered camera-less techniques, a number of artists are using camera-less photography to create beautiful, startling images.
This is the first book to gather together the work of these key contemporary artists, revealing the technical processes and creative practices involved in their art. The resulting pictures are consistently powerful, often with surreal effects and symbolic content. In an age of mass-produced imagery, Shadow Catchers offers a fascinating insight into a world of handcrafted photographs that are at once visually striking and intellectually stimulating.
