Arguably it is a very democratic medium, since billions of people all over the planet take photographs on their phones, and digital storage means that expensive printing is not necessary and therefore the practice is not prohibitive. Photography is important to political and social movements and connects people in emotionally meaningful relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book explores the myriad ways in which photographs can be used: to document events, places or things; to consolidate personal identity; to pose a challenge to an idea or regime; to animate the inanimate (in other words, to breathe life into objects); to capture the fleeting and transitory; to create stories; to reveal what may be taken for granted, including \u003cem\u003eseeing \u003c\/em\u003esocial practices; to enhance our perception and allow us to notice previously unnoticed details; to consolidate relationships; to represent the overlooked or marginalised; to commemorate; to authenticate; to tantalise. All these modes of photography have different possibilities, different intentions and different effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSusan Hogan\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Arts \u0026amp; Health at University of Derby \u0026amp; Professorial Fellow of the Institute of Mental Health, University of Nottingham.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50383178531090,"sku":"9781800715387","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_9b1ae6ae-6ee1-494d-9a54-9d20de44d3ab.jpg?v=1728780306","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/photography-9781800715387","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
