C International Photo Magazine – Issue 4 (Eng)

New. In William Shakespeare´ss play As You Like It, Orlando declared: All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players?. This issue pays tribute to the affectation and artifice, falsity and staging present in so much of contemporary photography. It illustrates the fullest possible range of photography, from digital imaging and computer modelling through to documentary.
