Photography has evolved into a primary medium of modern communication, becoming central to everyday private and public life, especially with the digital revolution. This book chronicles the significant journey of world photography, from its pioneering stages through the 19th and 20th centuries and into the 21st century's global contemporary art scene. It traces photography's expansion across scientific, forensic, and artistic domains, its role in portraiture, the impact of avant-gardes, its use in documentation and propaganda, its influence on pop and conceptual art, and its recent evolution into staged and post-photography.
