📖 The Eye of the Photographer. The Story of Photography

Why does a photographer make that one particular photo? What evokes such strong emotions when looking at a picture? Photography makes people look at things in a different way. Reality is distorted when looking through a lens or on a picture. 'The Eye of the Photographer' illustrates how photographers work. Photography can be objective or subjective, public or private, four different interpretations of reality. FoMu is one of the most important photography museums in Europe.
