This biographical encyclopedia contains alphabetically sorted entries on the most important photographers of the 20th century and their most influential monographs. From the earliest representatives of classical modernism to the present, Photographers A–Z celebrates those photographers who have distinguished themselves through important publications or exhibitions or made a decisive contribution to the history of the photographic image — from North America and Europe, but also from Japan, Latin America, Africa and China.

The work, richly illustrated with facsimiles from books and magazines, also takes into account photographers whose work has "practical" applications beyond the purely illustrative and is still exhibited as art by major museums, including Julius Shulman, Terry Richardson, Cindy Sherman and David LaChapelle.
