## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good book.
*by H***N on 30 December 2018*

Great book. Highly recommended for photography enthusiast but do read the other books in the series first.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ... for those who not only frame snaps but also love to read photography as poetry and philosophy
*by D***S on 17 January 2016*

A must read for those who not only frame snaps but also love to read photography as poetry and philosophy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent
*by S***E on 7 January 2018*

I have an annual custom of reading/re-reading Barthes on flights every December/January. Last year it was Mourning Diary that piqued my interest. And this year, it is Camera Lucida, a book that Barthes was working on alongside the aforementioned diary. Just as sublimely Barthes as possible, Camera Lucida takes our common everyday perspectives out for a drive, makes us question our very perspective regarding images, and then brings us back to square one. Questioning whether we are indeed back where we began from. Barthes puts the question himself, that he attempts to establish a hypothesis that is already a theory. But then again, had Barthes not questioned the lucidity of the photographic process, we might just have had to contend ourselves with a Camera Obscura.
