This lofty tome ought to be a staple for any fashion photographer, but honestly, a landmark artist worth studying from the point of view of any creative discipline. Peter Lindbergh: A Different Vision on Fashion Photography Salgado's images are often a festival of monochrome with perfect contrast, composition, and clarity. I went to see the exhibition of this in London and was jolted awake with awe. Forget those flaccid gloss print text books, and instead, paw through a carefully bound photography book with high-quality printing and careful image curation and presentation. If you've never seen or held a good one, it's well worth it.
One staple member of that list from before I'd even articulated the idea was a good coffee table photography book. What constitutes a good book isn't just the text however - oh, no - if you add the words "coffee" and "table" in front, you unlock new criteria of aesthetics. The right photography book can not only be a rich vein of inspiration and art, but the experience of even handling the item has a level of tactile satisfaction worthy of repeating.Īfter my tongue-in-cheek article last month about items photographers don't want for Christmas, I began working on a more useful resource for gifts photographers might well want. But the older I get, the more I enjoy a good book. There was a time when getting a book as a present was unappreciated.
