Reviews

“This compilation of interviews, critical essays, and a resource guide is a cherished gift, especially to those long-time fans of the Dodge & Burn photography blog. Readers are left with an intimate understanding of each photo-based artist’s distinct path as practicing image makers, along with narrated insights into their joys and challenges. Mestrich deftly addresses what it means to be a photographer swimming against the currents of the more canonical history of the medium. So too does she demonstrate how a life in photography is as dynamic and nuanced as the diversity of people who embody its range of artistic possibilities.” - Emilie Chesnutt Boone, Assistant Professor of Art History, New York University
