The entire American Surfaces series is currently at the Tate Modern – well worth a visit!
Lovely mate
That sorts my Christmas list out. Mind you the list will be ignored. Thank Guys!
i went and saw Edward Burtynsky's exhibit at the art museum here in phoenix, all of the photos were at lease 5 ft tall & it was magnificent to see them in person at such a large scale.
good selection, and you describe them very well. thank you!
I met Burtynsky at en exhibit in Vienna. Got a signed copy of a book from him there. What a great photographer. Really love his work. Thanks for sharing this – very eager to buy those other books!
I recommend Sally Mann's memoir, its REALLY good! Not a photobook but she does include photos. I have a signed copy! 🙂
I've been asking everyone for some great books and you nailed it!
Awesome stuff. One of my personal favourites is Modern Colour by Fred Herzog!
Hey! Im just starting with film photography. I was thinking to buy canon a1 maybe pentax k1000 what do you think which one would be better?
Thanks! 🙂
u and amazon prime ahahah bless <3
I think you skipped book three,
cool video tho
Nice
I loooooove Edward Burtynsky, I have a few of his books and love flipping through them for inspiration…. You should check out the documentary "manufactured landscapes" about his photographic trip to China
Thank you! There needs to be more videos on photography books on Youtube. Here are some more suggestions for cheap but great photography books…
1: Street Photography Now – Thames Hudson – £20 – Features a wide range of modern street photography greats, perfect for those wanting to get keyed up and creatively energised for a bout of street photography.
2: The Great Life Photographers – Life – £10 – This book was edited by the great Life photographer (and director of Shaft!) and showcases monumental work from arguably the greatest photography magazine ever printed.
3: Magnum Landscape – Magnum – Dirt cheap used on Amazon – Small book, grainy images but each with a haunting power. Pretty much a must for anyone interested in landscape photography, as the images show just how far away you can get from the perceived norm of landscape shooting – even to sometimes profoundly disturbing effect.
4: Century – Phaidon – £15 pb / £30 hb – This anthology of 100 years of powerful photographs is a real shelf-breaker, it's easily the heaviest book I own. But there isn't a duff image in it. There's a smaller paperback version for those with back problems. Warning, some images are disturbing, as sadly befits the 20th century.
5: Hutterite: A World of Grace – Kristin Capp – £10 – This is a wonderful, large hardcover book filled with gorgeous b&w medium format images of a Hutterite community. Contained within are beautiful portraits of a religious farming community, and there is a great sense of peace and stillness throughout the book. I'm not a religious man but I find myself turning to this book often. If you're a fan of film portraits, this is a great bargain.
Also don't forget you can check out many photo-books for free in photography galleries, just ask the friend staff, or try your local library. Finally, a shout out to Koenig books in London, where I find many a surprising bargain. Cheers again Negative Feedback!
This might be a weird request, but does anyone know where I could get a necklace same as or similar to his?
I've recently discovered this channel, and Im not really sure how to express my appreciation or admiration for these videos apart from writing this. your content genuinely is so wonderful
I see a lot of comments on here about female photographers, so I thought i'd share some of my favorite photo books created by women: 09 – Lina Scheynius, Olive Juice – Molly Matalon & Damien Maloney, Ikebana Albums – Ana Kras, Pheromone Hotbox – Amanda Charchian, and Girl on Girl: Art and Photography in the Age of the Female Gaze – Charlotte Jansen. Highly recommend any of these books! Enjoy 🙂
hey what kind of film/tips would you recommend to someone looking for that grainy look in both color and b&h photography?
Representing my guy Eggleston!
Egglestons Guide is an absolute essential
