Shoot: Photography of the Moment gathers 15-18 photographers whose work focuses on capturing a moment, with intensity and transcendence. The book includes essays by legendary photographer Stephen Shore and social critic and historian Penny Martin, with a historical overview of the medium and aesthetic by Ken Miller. Shoot is the first book to document what has become the dominant style in contemporary art, fashion and editorial photography. Whether working in personal documentary, editorial, fine art, or fashion, these photographers' democratic, free wheeling approach reflects an era in which we are increasingly bombarded by images and in which the emotional resonance of ephemeral images has become an important part of our visual vocabulary. This book is to be the first of its kind not only to link the generations of younger and older photographers working in this style, but also to tackle this contemporary movement that has become so prevalent.
