What is Look 07 about?
It’s a programme of activities concerned with the revolution in photography. As camera ownership and usage is rocketing worldwide, what are people saying with this new language of photography? Who’s making the most interesting pictures now, who’s looking at them, how is the public using photography as a new means of expression, and what’s the place for the professional photographer in all this?
