In order to better understand images and visual culture the book seeks to bridge between theory and practice; asking the reader to think critically about images and image practices, but also simultaneously to make images and engage with image-makers and image-making processes. Looking across a range of domainsand disciplines, we find the image is never a single, static thing. Rather, the image can be a concept, an object, a picture, or medium – and all these things combined. At the heart of this book is the idea of an ‘ecology of images’,through which we can examine the full ‘life’ of an image – to understand how an image resonances within a complex set of contexts, processes and uses.•Part 1 covers theoretical perspectives on the image, supplemented with practical entries on making, researching and writing with images. •Part 2 explores specific image practices and cultures, with chapters on drawing and painting; photography; visual culture; scientific imaging; and informational images
