xpressive potential in illustration interpretation demonstrates that much value exists beyond just reproducing outlines of the external world. This understanding was the principal aesthetic for Pictorial Photography which flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An important and highly influential art magazine that promoted Pictorialism was Alfred Stieglitz's "Camera Work" which was published from 1903 to 1917. An enduring inspiration to practitioners serving to establish photography's scientific and artistic status, each sumptuous issue was reproduced with handsomely printed hand-tipped photogravures. Today's image channels this spirit.
“The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.” - Andre Kertesz
