Thames & Hudson Ltd Firecrackers: Contemporary Female Photographers

A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the worlds leading contemporary female documentary photographers. Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecrackers foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Hasers futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawys filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of individual stories and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.
