Exploring the evolution of photography in France since the 1970s, this publication examines the interplay between various photographic practices, such as contemporary art, documentary, and fashion. Olga Smith engages with French philosophical thought, incorporating the works of Barthes, Baudrillard, and Rancière to analyze how photography intersects with text and theory. The study emphasizes the medium's connection to significant historical and cultural events, with a particular focus on landscapes, national identity, colonial legacies, and environmental issues.
