Synopsis

This book shows that contemporary approaches to picture based journalism can be traced back through unbroken lines of development from the pioneering work of Stefan Lorant seventy years ago, drawing along the way upon the inspiration of Lorant, his contemporaries and those who followed him. Lorant¿s legacy continues to influence institutions and individuals alike. As Steven Heller observed, ¿There is no telling what photojournalism would be like today if it wasn¿t for Lorant¿s efforts.¿ The influence and legacy of Lorant¿s picture based journalism and Picture Post in particular have permeated magazines of the time including Life and Look magazines, more recently the colour supplements such as The Sunday Times Magazine as well as Town and Queen. Overall his contribution to ¿the creative use of actuality¿ has changed the way we see the social landscape in such celebrity magazines such as OK! and Hello! and the television documentary from the early BBC Tonight programmes through to Panorama. New analysis, interpretations, linkages and extended time spans provide considered conclusions of particular interest to those involved with photography, media and communication.
