In this volume of The Photography Workshop Series, Vik Muniz--known for his playful pictures that complicate what is understood as a photograph, sculpture, or painting--offers his insight into thinking creatively and seeing the familiar in new and surprising ways.

Aperture works with the world's top photographers to distill their creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography--offering the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography. Through images and words, Vik Muniz--whose signature style appropriates and reinterprets iconic images--shares his creative practice and discusses a wide range of topics, from generating ideas and creating artworks that challenge viewers' perceptions, to thinking through collaboration, imperfection, and the interplay of subject, scale, and material.
