"Picturing Indians" by Steven D. Hoelscher is a history book focused on Photography Basics. Best for general readers, students, and topic-focused learners.

Having built his reputation on his photographs of the Dells' steep gorges and fantastic rock formations, H. H. Bennett turned his camera upon the Ho-Chunk, and thus began the many-layered relationship. The interactions between Indian and white man, photographer and photographed, suggested a relationship in which commercial motives and friendly feelings mixed, though not necessarily in equal measure.
