Sally Stein: Close-ups from Afar

Sally Stein: Close-ups from Afar

In Close-ups from Afar, Sally Stein gathers five decades of writing that reframe how photography is understood within culture, media and everyday life. With clarity and precision, she moves between subjects as varied as the rise of colour, the shifting role of women in photographic history and the visual language of both documentary and glamour. Across essays on figures from Dorothea Lange to Dawoud Bey, Stein’s work asks not just what we see in photographs, but how they shape what we think we know. This collection is both a critical record and an invitation to look again, more closely and with greater care.
