Anyone get any nice photography books recenty?
-
just finished reading ‘Photography beyond technique’ edited by Tom Persinger. it is a collection of short pieces written by various practitioners who use alternative processes about why they use the techniques they use. an excellent source of inspiration and food for thought, definitely well worth a look!
A couple of books I have enjoyed lately for different reasons are…
Susan Sontag – Regarding the pain of others
Geoff Dyer – The ongoing moment
Jackie Higgins – Why it does not have to be in focusText heavy but getting more image reliant in Geoff Dyer’s and especially Jackie Higgins book.
Picked up two George Tice books.
One is a small book called “Selected Photographs 1953 – 1999” Gives you an idea of his work although the pictures are quite small.
Also got his book called “Fields of Peace – A Pennsylvania German Album” this is a superb book, really like it and have gone through it a few times already, superb photographs of the Amish people. Lots of interesting text also. The book is very well put together and very well printed, all the pictures are superbly composed and printed, no fillers. A great book would defo recommend it, hope to buy another book or two of George Tice’s work…
Great, thanks for that Martin!. Just ordered the Fields of Piece book there a second ago. :D
Had a few dollars in my US account which was not enough for anything except on this occasion to give me free shipping :).Hi, I have just graped the book called “Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light”. It really helps, even if you have longstandig prof experience and knowledge. Always find sth there!:)
