Recensioner i media

Geoffrey Batchen, Source Magazine A substantial addition to our understanding of how a history of photography might be undertaken and articulated... Flash! leaves a bedazzlement of the senses and an inspiring model for those scholars about to delve into the many other histories of photography still waiting to be written.

Peter Buse, New Formations [A] rich and compelling cultural history of flash photography Flash! should reach a wide and appreciative audience.

Kitty Hauser, Apollo Offers an opportunity to reflect on the various changing meanings of flash photography.

Patricia Baker-Cassidy, Photomonitor FLASH! is an engrossing book, full of strange nuggets of history, absorbing descriptions of photographic technology and gems of extraordinary people and events from early photographs to contemporary work. It is a well-supported and enjoyable cultural exploration; Flint's analysis is --appropriately--truly illuminating.

Robert Tanitch, Mature Times This cultural history of flash photography from the mid-19th century to the present day will have a special appeal for professional and amateur photographers.

Dr R M Callender, Photographica World ... the book is a brave attempt to establish a specialised account of photographic history and, simultaneously, secure a place for the subject in modern culture at a time when electronic imaging is forcing new ways to undertake photography where the ambient light is non-existent.

Fiontan Moran, The Burlington Magazine The book offers an expanded way through which to navigate the many ways that flash has been used and to contemplate its place in the twenty-first century.
