Photo NoNos features ideas, stories, and anecdotes from many of the worlds most talented photographers and photography professionals, along with an encyclopedic list of more than a thousand taboo subjects compiled from and with pictures by contributors.Not a strict guide, but a series of meditations on bad pictures, Photo NoNos covers a wide range of topics, from sunsets and roses to issues of colonialism, stereotypes, and social responsibility. At a time when societies are reckoning with what and how to communicate through media and who has the right to do so, this book is a timely and thoughtful resource on what photographers consider to be offlimits, and how they have contended with their own selfimposed rules without being paralyzed by them.
