Esta antología completa la obra teórica del autor y reúne los textos sobre fotografía más importantes del artista e intelectual. Los veinticinco ensayos que componen este volumen, aparecen ordenados cronológicamente y en él se suceden desde textos ya publicados en algunas de las obras más conocidas de Berger, hasta artículos inéditos aparecidos en catálogos de exposiciones. También comparte sus visiones con colegas como Sebastião Salgado o Martine Franck y reflexiona sobre la obra fotográfica de Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand o Eugene Smith.
