Book excerpt: Creative Photography and Wales explores the photographic tradition in Wales through the work of American photojournalist Eugene Smith's work in Wales in the 1950s. Smith is regarded as a master of the photo essay and one of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, and his photographs, set in the context of the work of photographers who shot the region in subsequent years--including those engaged in the "Valleys Project" during the 1980s--help us understand the ways in which twentieth century photography fixed an image of Wales, one that still resonates today.
