Book Review: What Does Photography Mean To You? By Grant Scott
<p>Grant Scott is the founder of <a href="http://www.unitednationsofphotography.com/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">United Nations of Photography</a>, and the associated podcast, A Photographic Life (included in my photography podcast article <a href="https://www.fstopmagazine.com/blog/2020/11/photography-podcasts-now-hear-this/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">‘Now Hear This’</a>). Within each episode, Scott asks a photographer what photography means to them, and in roughly five minutes, the guest photographer gives their audio response. Each photographer answers in their own words, on their own terms, what ‘photography means to them and it takes many forms. Some answer in a diaristic way, some answer in rhetorical ways, or via short stories which reveal touchstones in their lives — sometimes it is a person or a time when photography changed their life irrevocably. In the book adaptation, 89 professional, award-winning photographers from around the world explain what photography means to them.</p>
<p>Some photographers take the opportunity to share the glory of their professional career, or tell the story of humble beginnings and who gave them their first camera (a common genesis theme) — but no matter which approach each person takes, they tell the story of those of us who eat, breathe, and sleep the life of a visual storyteller.</p>
