This illustrated lecture explores some of the many fascinating narratives in the history of photography—from the work of William Henry Fox Talbot to Kawada Kikuji, and from Julia Margaret Cameron to Vik Muniz. Learn about photography’s varied purposes since its invention in the nineteenth century, and how those purposes have been reinterpreted by contemporary photographers in recent years.
