Favorite Photography Books

Considering I have an ever growing collection of photography books,  it was no surprise that I was asked to give some advice about what a fellow photographer might want as a gift.   I have photography books about every thing from the technical to artist portfolios, from street photography to high fashion.

As I was compiling the list, I thought about how it really was a list of books that all photographers should have on their shelves.   I was going to make this a top 10 list but I decided that I would probably continue to add to it.  So let’s call this Stephanie’s  List of Favorite Photography Books. (Book Covers link directly to Amazon)  I hope they are a source of inspiration and enlightenment to you.

 

My most recent purchase is a book of Vivian Maier’s work. Her story is exceptional and I encourage you read her story  and view more of her work at www.vivianmaier.com  Her work rivals any of the great street photographers of the twentieth century.

Vivian Maier: Street Photographer

 

While we’re on the topic of street photographers, no collection would be complete without a book by Henri Cartier- Bresson.  This book was given to me by a cherished friend.  What I love about it is that it contains a lot of the well know Cartier-Bresson images but also a lot of them that I had not seen before.  It is a beautiful book.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Man, The Image & The World

 

Richard Avedon – If you don’t have one of his books on your shelves, you are missing out.  Here is one of my favorite books by one of my favorite artists.

Avedon Fashion 1944-2000

January 2, 2012 - 1:25 pm Greg Fiske - Orange County wedding videographer - Thanks for the recommendations. I've read only one of the books you listed, so I will have to check out the rest. Your work is beautiful.
