Book Intro

A Guide for Communicating with Photos

We are beyond the era of 24-cut and 36-cut film cameras or the digital camera. It is now the era of smart phone. The role of photos changed from commemorating special days to recording ordinary moments in our daily lives. Photographs have become a form of language and an ordinary mode of communication to depict stories. However, as photographs become part of our daily lives, the standard of "good photographs" has become more ambiguous. Photograph Reading is not a book that simply shares photos, but a guidebook that explains why photos are important and how to read the stories captured in each one. 

This book was inspired by the photograph of a migrant mother and her children at the US-Mexican border. The author shares his unique hands-on experience with photographs from the past and the present. The author's reporting on the Pregant Comfort Woman is paired with the author's experience of reporting on Chinese comfort women and poignantly caputures the controversal history. Robert Capa's major works come to life with testimonials of the author and his American colleague's experience. The author shares unknown stories about famous photographs and tells mesmerizing stories of unknown photos in a single volume. Borrowing from the intriguing and heart rending stories behind photographs, the author offers a different approach towards photographs -- a record of history and media -- as well as a framework to view our society.
