Welcome!

Welcome to the companion website for Rethinking Photography: Histories, Theories and Education by Peter Smith and Carolyn Lefley.

Rethinking Photography is an accessible and illuminating critical introduction to the practice and interpretation of photography today.

This site contains additional case studies, building on those which are featured in the book, and exploring specific issues in photographic theory and practice in more depth. These case studies are intended to aid further study and classroom discussion.

The case studies included here are as follows:

• Case Study 6: Documentary Photography and Political Activism
• Case Study 7: Photographic Portraiture

Further case studies will appear on this site as updates.

You can contribute by giving us feedback about the book or the website on our feedback page.
