Product Description

All in a Flash is a sharp survey of news photography in India, anchored by images that have become part of the nation’s visual memory. It sets out by asking foundational questions around the still image that remain important as ever: How has news photography shaped our understanding of history? How has it affected our way of learning about the world—its many tragedies and few triumphs? What does it mean to appreciate, or even to create, a photograph in these image-saturated times? In doing so, it moves from Sunil Janah’s searing photographs of the aftermath of Partition to Raghu Rai’s haunting images of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy to the extraordinary scale of loss caught on camera during the Coronavirus pandemic by Qamar Sibtain and Ritesh Shukla. It revisits the Taj Mahal as a site of sublime beauty and as a stage for celebrity and politics alike, from John Murray’s first-ever negatives of the monument to Princess Diana’s iconic visit. It recalls the first use of evidence photography in the Amherst Street murder case in Calcutta in 1868 to the dwindling access of press photographers in corridors of power post-2014. Often reflective if documentary in tone, Binoo K. John examines roughly 150 years of photography in the sub-continent to show how photographers have stood at the front line of history—often at great personal risk—to make visible what words alone cannot. About the Author: Binoo K. John is a senior journalist and author based in Delhi. He was an editor with many English publications including Sunday, The Telegraph, The Indian Express, India Today, Mail Today and other publications where his earlier writings can be accessed. His recent journalism can be found in The Federal and The Wire. He is the author of the novel The Last Song of Savio De Souza (2011) and four books of non-fiction: Entry from Backside Only: Hazaar Fundas of Indian English (2007), Under a Cloud: Life in Cherrapunji, the Wettest Place on Earth (2013), The Curry Coast: Travels in Malabar 500 Years after Vasco Da Gama (2016) and Top Game: Winning, Losing and a New Understanding of Sport (2021).
