The Great Themes - Life Library of Photography (1983)

About

"In the century and a half since a bleary view of a barnyard in France became the first image captured by photography, millions of photographers have taken billions of photographs of everything from babies to lunar soil. However, the efforts of artists-photographers can be grouped generally into six great themes: portraits, still life, the nude, nature, war and the human condition. Whatever the subject whether a bowl of fruit, an old Woman's face or a helicopter hovering over a jungle - all who make successful photographs are driven by the same instinct: the work of art is imagined whole in the mind's eye before the shutter is tripped. A good photographer is not often surprised when the image comes up in the darkroom..."
