´Photography is no longer a hobby or a discrete activity, and Martin Hand sets out in his lucid and engaging study just how it has become ´ubiquitous´, modifying and making more visual a whole range of existing social practices.´
Tim Dant, Lancaster University
´Hand´s book sets contemporary photographic practices in the context of information technologies, changing cultural and economic forms, and a media-saturated society, and provides a lucid analysis of how these constitute ´ubiquitous photography´. Its combination of cultural theory, analytic insight, and ethnographic sensibility makes it indispensable reading for anyone seeking to understand contemporary visual culture.´
Anne Beaulieu, University of Groningen
