For over 30 years, The New York Times Magazine has been synonymous with the myriad possibilities and applications of photography.

The New York Times Magazine – Photographs reflects upon and interrogates the very nature of both photography and print magazines at this pivotal moment in their history and evolution. This volume presents some of the finest commissioned photographs worldwide. Diverse in content and sensibility, and consistent in virtuosity, the photographs are accompanied by reproduced tear sheets to allow for the examination of sequencing and the interplay between text and image, simultaneously presenting the work while illuminating its distillation to magazine form. This process is explored further through texts offering behind-the-scenes perspective and anecdotes by the many photographers, writers, editors and other collaborators whose voices have been a part of the magazine over the years. As such, The New York Times Magazine – Photographs serves as a springboard for a rigorous, necessary and revitalized examination of photography as presented within a modern journalistic context.

With photographs by Chuck Close, Gregory Crewdson, Mitch Epstein, Lee Friedlander, Katy Grannan, Nan Goldin, Annie Leibovitz, Sally Mann, Susan Meiselas, Erwin Olaf, Paolo Pellegrin, Eugene Richards, Larry Towel and many more.
