« Visionnaires, les plus grands photographes » aux éditions La Martinière
Qu'est-ce qui définit le photographe si ce n'est son oeil ? Les 75 artistes du livre « Visionnaire : les plus grands photographes » ont en commun le fait d'avoir réussi à capter un monde en train de changer radicalement.

The artists explore the question of what image patterns the media age employs for portraying femininity and how t...
