This book is an analysis of the economics of the fashion photography industry, written by one of the world's brightest young economic sociologists.Aspers shows how photographers gain their identity in the market and how markets are constructed at the interface of economy and art. Status, identity and style are seen as hugely important and the author makes a case for these factors being of major significance in all markets of an aesthetic nature. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
