Conversation with Joel Meyerowitz

Storytelling, the use of color and of black and white, personal and social issues; these are just a few of the many themes that the American photographer Joel Meyerowitz discusses with the photography critic Alessia Tagliaventi. This book results in a combination of text and images which constitutes both a complex examination of Joel Meyerowitz's work and a manual on the reading of photography itself.

Joel Meyerowitz is an award-winning photographer born in New York. He is a "street photographer" and an early advocate of color photography. His first book, Cape Light, is considered a classic work of color photography and has sold more than 150,000 copies during its thirty-year life.
