This archive of pictures is the only existing photographic record of Ground Zero after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11th 2001. Fenced off and classified as a crime scene, the area was closed to all photographers, and only scant information was available about the activities in the guarded enclosure that became known as "the forbidden city." Through sheer persistence involving almost daily acts of resourcefulness and defiance, Joel Meyerowitz became the sole photographer to have continued access to the site and describe its transformation over the next nine months from a place of total devastation to cleared bedrock.Published to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, this book serves not only as an elegy to the thousands who lost their lives, but also celebrates the tireless effort and bravery of the thousands of police officers, fire fighters, construction workers, engineers, and volunteers who assisted in the clean-up process.

Uses photographs to provide examples on how to interpret and appreciate photographs, offering advice on characteristics such as color, timing, and emotion.

The "Masters of Photography" series is a new approach to photography how-to. Each volume is dedicated to the work of one key photographer who, through a series of bite-sized lessons and ideas, tells you everything you always wanted to know about their approach to taking photographs. From their influences, ideas and experiences, to tech tips and best shots. The series begins with Joel Meyerowitz, who will teach you, among other essentials: How to use a camera to reclaim the streets as your own, why you need to watch the world always with a sense of possibility, how to set your subjects at ease, and the importance of being playful and of finding a lens that suits your personality.

This new edition of Meyerowitz's seminal book, 'Redheads', will feature new and previously unseen portraits. First published in 1990 to critical acclaim, this masterful collection of portraits by Joel Meyerowitz, is a celebration of all redheaded people, young and old, male and female. It was in 1978, during his first summer of making portraits while using an 8x10 inch large format camera, that Meyerowitz found himself drawn to photographing redheads. For decades the photographer has been fascinated by their aesthetic allure, their hair and the exotic markings of their skin. As different as redheads are in terms of nationality and religion, they often give the appearance of a strong familial connection.--provided by publisher
