Summary

Strike a pose with us this week as we give you a snapshot of the language behind the lens of photography.

Elsewhere Gyles reveals the rollcall of great photographers for whom he has posed, we discover the first uses of terms like ‘selfie’ and ‘photobomb’, and Susie has a brilliant trio of words to take with you into the week.
