“For anyone interested in more than photography—particularly in comprehending its strange hold over us as an activity both for taking and viewing images—this absorbing book will both expand your understanding of the medium and provide you with fresh insights from latest research.”

Sydney Morning Herald

“Battye has provided the photographic art or craft (or both) with staunch intellectual support, offering convincing evidence of the photo’s ability to imply much more than initially meets the eye.”

Robert J. Seidman, Art in America

A clear and engaging writer, Battye successfully discusses critical literature with an emphasis on temporal aspects of photography. Moreover, he adds to theoretical perspectives on photography by taking up three topics rarely approached in critical literature. . . . Battye’s great accomplishment in this volume is certainly the theoretically sound location of photographs within a theoretical framework of narrative. . . . Photography, Narrative, Time is a very ambitious and theoretically stringent work that brings together a multitude of academic discourses.”
