Wide-ranging and eclectic, TLS Seductively curious, Observer, A visual and intellectual journey, Herald, See/Saw is an illuminating history of how photographs frame and change our perspectives. Starting from single images by the world's most important photographers, from Eugène Atget to Alex Webb, Geoff Dyer shows us how to read a photograph, as he takes us through a series of close readings that are by turns moving, funny, prescient, and surprising.


Through his meticulous analysis, Dyer reveals the profound impact that photographs have on our understanding of the world, from the iconic images of war and conflict to the everyday moments of joy and connection. He challenges us to see the world through new eyes, to question our assumptions and to embrace the complexity and ambiguity of the photographic medium.


See/Saw is not just a book about photography; it is a meditation on the power of visual storytelling and the ways in which images can shape our collective memory and understanding of the world. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the visual arts, history, and the human condition.
