Renowned photographers and critics address the major controversies in photography today.
Recent photographic criticism at its best: combative, probing, challenging.
-- Alan Trachtenberg
In recent years, photographic images have been blamed for everything from heroin chic and meaningless politics to women's distorted body images and the death of Princess Diana.  In Over Exposed, a group of distinguished photographers, critics, and cultural historians examine the many roles of photography in contemporary western culture, covering questions about representation, sexual politics, public policy, and cultural activism.

Taking up where her widely praised first collection, The Critical Image, left off, Carol Squiers, senior editor of American Photo, collects writing on the most important issues in contemporary photography including those raised by the new digital photography and the Web.

Carol Squiers is curator at the International Center of Photography, New York City, and a regular columnist for Artforum.  She has contributed to a wide variety of publications including the New York Times, Vogue, the Village Voice, Vanity Fair, American Photo, the New York Post, Parkett, Art in America, Art News, and Aperture.  She lives in New York City.
