| Summary |
"The Reuters News Pictures Service was created in 1985 and has since become the world's leading provider of photographic images. Their 130 full-time staff photographers, and many more contract and freelance photographers, are on the spot, all over the world, covering and capturing stories as they happen. Reuters photographers have won many top awards for their work, most recently first prize in the World Press Photo Awards. The images provided by Reuters News Pictures Service are used by approximately 1,500 newspapers and magazines worldwide, as well as countless on-line customers." "The Art of Seeing offers a fascinating selection of news pictures taken by Reuters photographers who have had the vision and ability to see and capture extraordinary incidents. This collection comprises a story with many threads: celebration, adversity, conflict, diplomacy, triumph and disaster - and offers some of the most spectacular, disturbing and significant images you will ever see." "The Art of Seeing sets each photograph in context, outlining the circumstances behind the image: how the photographers came to witness these events and how they managed to document them. It showcases the two essential characteristics of the top photojournalist - a nose for a story and an eye for a photo."--BOOK JACKET |
