Book Description

October 17, 1996

Culled from an extensive, yearlong, nationwide search, this book of photographs from people twenty-five years of age and younger provides a unique and revealing look at how a new generation is seeing and interpreting the world.

25 and Under is an illuminating look at the art and sensibility of young American photographers who have documented worlds they know and imagine with surprising diversity and sophistication. The images range from photojournalist essays to computer-manipulated images, from carefully constructed art pieces to snapshots of daily life. The photographers address world issues and personal concerns, serious matters and trivial ones, and do so with humor and wit as well as anguish and anger.

This extraordinary collection of 150 duotones and color photographs allows us to look through the eyes of young people as we enter the twenty-first century, to see their hopes, fears, confusion, and ambitions through the startling and inspiring images they create. 150 color photographs and duotones

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Editor George (Flesh and Blood, Picture Project, 1992) set out to find what photographers under the age of 25 are producing in this country. The result is this collection of work by 25 young photographers, whom few of us will have heard of or seen. Judging from the quality of the images here, however, some will be familiar names in contemporary photography in the coming decades. What strikes one is the self-absorbed nature of most of the work. Perhaps feeling that there is nothing that hasn't already been photographed in some way by someone else, these young artists choose to focus on the self and its context of home, friends, and activities. As a result, the photographic process seems to serve as a kind of self-exploratory tool, without larger ambitions or purpose. Appropriately, psychologist and Doubletake magazine cofounder Robert Coles writes an introductory essay about the act of seeing and the role of sight in shaping our experience of self and the world.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but missing something....., September 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 25 and Under (Paperback)
Great idea for a book, however... sometimes I wonder about what photography schools are teaching people these days.... It seems like people get so caught up with the "latest trick" in photography(ie: computer manipulation...etc..) that it's hard to tell if what they are creating is from the heart. After looking through 25 and Under, I felt a lack of authentic expression. I would love to see another version of the book published with some representation of artists whom have not neccissarily attended the best photo schools in America.

1.0 out of 5 stars Catchy title, Silly idea!, December 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 25 and Under (Paperback)
I'm sure the editors and publishers of this book thought that this was such a unique idea for a photography book! Well, please let these young folks mature a bit and then see what kind of work they can be produced. What will they be doing at age 30? I'll bet most won't be photographers. For the most part there are few pleasant surprises and alot of perdictability. The sad truth is that there are many worthy photographers, with mature work, original ideas and a singular voice who will never have a book published. Why not "25 and Up"!

5.0 out of 5 stars All art directors/designers should have a copy of this book!, December 28, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: 25 and Under (Paperback)
Anyone but everyone who is in advertising, design, editorial should have a copy of this book on their desk. Take a cool look and tell me youth and imagry is dead. How often do I see the same old names used in my agency. How often do we condem youth to doing crap?
