The Art of Seeing – The Best of Reuters Photography by Ulli Michel

The Art of Seeing: The Best of Reuters Photography by Ulli Michel is a striking large-format collection celebrating the skill, immediacy and visual power of Reuters photography. First published in Great Britain in 2000, the volume brings together outstanding examples of international photojournalism from one of the world’s most important news agencies, presenting photographs that capture history, human experience, conflict, culture and everyday life through the camera lens.

Rather than functioning simply as a record of news events, the collection demonstrates the artistry involved in successful press photography. Reuters photographers frequently work in rapidly changing circumstances where composition, timing and instinct must combine within a fraction of a second. The resulting images can be dramatic, poignant, unsettling, humorous or unexpectedly beautiful. The Art of Seeing showcases this ability to transform fleeting moments into memorable visual records.

Edited by Ulli Michel, The Art of Seeing is particularly appealing to collectors and students of photography, journalism, media studies and modern social history. It also makes an impressive coffee-table volume, with the large-format presentation allowing the photographs to command attention and revealing details that would be lost in smaller reproductions.
