From devotional practices and the commercialization of sacred imagery to the scientific cataloging of religious traditions, this thought-provoking publication explores the multifaceted role of photography in constructing and preserving religious identities and beliefs in past and present. The contributions explore the theological reception of photography, its use in artistic and festive contexts, and photographs’ material qualities as objects of devotion and cultural artifacts. Richly illustrated and featuring interdisciplinary insights from art history, religious studies, anthropology, and media studies, Photographic Practices and the Making of Religion provides an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in understanding the intersections of religion, visual culture, and modernity.
