I mean both, although my understanding is that the aforementioned book is full of pictures he selected rather than took. I've read the Nevin book but I don't recall esp. plentiful pictures.
Here's the passage in the Reactionary Modernism about the book: The first was another collection of photographs, Die verdnderte Welt (The Transformed World).110 It presented in pictures the ideas that were elaborated in repetitive prose in Jiinger's most well known work, Der Arbeiter, also published in 1933. The central message of the pictures and captions of Die verdnderte Welt was that a new, technically advanced, worldwide authoritarianism had developed. Workers' pa- rades in Moscow appear alongside a meeting of Hitler's stormtroop- ers, both indicative of a new "voluntary uniformity." Soldiers in uniform are on the opposite page from workers wearing uniformlike work clothes. Women are shown working at machines. Sports figures break- ing records and measurements timing the reactions of automobile drivers signify the expanding quantification of life. Cosmetics, man- nequins, loudspeakers, New York skyscrapers, advertising, mass po- litical rallies and slogans, church services being filmed, tank formations, geometrically planned cities, Soviet poster art of workers, Nazi election placards, lines of motorcycles, labor heroes and "saboteurs" in Russia, airplanes, and hydroelectric dams form a montage of authoritarian vitality. Tremendous energies are being unleashed all over Europe, in the Soviet Union, and in the United States. No particular recommendation.
