Photo No-Nos: Meditations on What Not to Photograph

Edited by photographer and educator Jason Fulford, Photo No-Nos asks what photographers choose not to photograph and why. More than sixty contributors, including Taryn Simon, Alec Soth, Paul Graham, Tina Barney, and Larry Sultan, answer through short essays and images. Their responses move from ethical refusals and technical limits to superstition and creative habit.

The pieces take forms ranging from anecdote to manifesto to list. Together they show how photographers decide what belongs inside a frame and what should remain outside it. Teju Cole provides the introduction. Published by Aperture.
