      Will there be another copy of the Vine? or just one release? :)

    As someone who is from Baltimore, A Beautiful Ghetto is not only a really incredible and well put together photobook, it's also incredibly accurate to what life in Baltimore is like and has been like in recent years.
    I strongly recommend that book for any photographer. And when you're looking at the images just keep in mind that, although sometimes it may just be unbelievable, this is what everyday life is like for a lot of people, and Devin Allen captures the emotional very well.

      Nick Larsen I would love to photograph Bmore! Use to be addicted heroin for 15 yers and I use to always make the journey out there. Now clean and sober I think it would be great to go out there for a totally different reason

      The city is truly beautiful. I’m from Baltimore too and I definitely have to get the photo book

    Will always appreciate photobooks/zines. Quality is unmatched compared to other mediums. Definitely agree with them being an investment

    Thanks for mentioning a historical photobook featuring the Black struggle. You always never forget to use this wonderful platform you've created here to educate us on life, photography and how impactful both are to the other. I wish more photo-youtubers were as selfless and brave as you. Thanks for always being genuine, for teaching me most of the things I know about photography over the years and for being the most awesome ally ever! 🙌🏾 🙌🏾 🙌🏾

    Love when u mentioned bringing photobooks over to a friends place and looking at them together. Imma have to start asking people if they want to photobook n chill

  • @goztwo2
    @goztwo2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oooooof!!! You've literally hit my Achilles with this video. Books hold a special place in my heart, and photo books in particular. From the first several books I was gifted in my teens (Berenice Abbott from my Uncle), to going through our whole photo book section in my college's library back in the day. It doesn't matter, old, new, borrowed from the library, water damaged... within reason ( in reference to a Francesca Woodman book found recently for cheap). It's the best/worst addiction to have.

    Looking for inspiration for my own photo book video and also looking at what other photographers are picking up. Great to see Devin Allens work being featured here, fun fact he is one of my mentors when it comes to photography and we are from the same city. I love photographing Baltimore and it’s cool to see his work featured in videos like this. Great work!

  • @film_friends
    @film_friends 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yesssss we need to pick these things up and support fellow photographers. People put so much work and soul into these things man. Its so dope.

  • @elmachomen
    @elmachomen 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this kind of video Matt! So inspiring to see the art of different photographers (many of them unknown to me until now) displayed in a different manner to what we are used to in day to day basis. I've only been getting into photobooks recently and I have to say that I wish I started way sooner. It's almost like some kind of meditation to me, that part in the video where you say 'getting lost' in the book completely resonates to what I mean... time just flies by when you're calmly digesting a photobook. I definitely wrote these recommendations down. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work! Greetings from Scotland! By the way, I got 'Social distancing' and I absolutely love it! You're on your way to make Chillicothe a photo destination!

  • @gui4j
    @gui4j 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    equally you should add in some books covering other art forms as well, for inspiration and research .. for example drawing , sculpting and painting are connected and photography has been born out of the others. whether you choose the classics and the masters or the modern and the contemporary that is up to you , but don't over look them .. the likes of Edward hooper, constable ,gaudi, Monet and pollock have been inspiring photographers for generations

  • @willmccleland2383

    @x100ed 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    love this video. my two most recent photos purchases are Uncommon Places by Stephen Shore, and Magnum Magnum. I only came across Stephen Shore recently in a public library and had to have the book. I can spend hours work a photo book, and can find something new every time I pick up the same book.

  • @PhilKnall
    @PhilKnall 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nice choices, I'm particularly drawn to Whispering Pines. Those still lives of the cigar boxes (?) were amazing.
    I have a few nice new zines too, gonna have to make a video soon.

    Thank you for these recommendations! I ordered the Beautiful Ghetto book. I have lived in or around Balwmore for 10 years and wasn't aware of it! I also just ordered your Social Distancing zine, I'm glad I was able to order it on the second go-around!

    Some good purchases there Matt. I’ve been buying a bunch of zines this last month or two, I fear I’m addicted

  • @FabrizioZago
    @FabrizioZago 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Totally agree when you say photobooks/zines are an investment, I invested in a few... :-)
    I like to see the several layouts and so on, they are quite inspiring.

  • @ThatGamingGuyfromthe70s
    @ThatGamingGuyfromthe70s 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of my favourite photo books is 'Tractor Boys' by Martin Bogren. Gritty, atmospheric, edgy and a brilliantly told story. It's also a relatively inexpensive book by photo book standards.

  • @Lysander-Spooner
    @Lysander-Spooner 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Books are great. But photobooks are quite expensive, a luxury for many.

    • @chrispatmore8944
      @chrispatmore8944 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Look for used ones online on Amazon or Abe Books. I've picked up some fantastic ones at bargain prices.

  • @jakeoliveira5086

    funny, I just ordered Transparencies yesterday because I'm moving towards shooting mostly slide film. cool to see it here.

  • @sbai4319
    @sbai4319 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love doing this. The most prized book (I even gave a copy to a dear friend) was Robert Frank’s “The Americans” loved this book so much I have bought his biography.

  • @doubleexposed3830

  • @Dwarvenchef
    @Dwarvenchef 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I also collect photo books, ironically the books i like are on subjects I don’t like shooting. Just got “The Americans” and enjoyed it very much

    Photo books are the best. I recently bought Invisible Man by: Gordon Parks. And I also bought a Bruce Guildon book, pocket size.

  • @CalumetVideo
    @CalumetVideo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great review of photo books! They are a real investment. I would also recommend “The Decisive Moment” by Henri Cartier-Bresson, it was reprinted a few years ago and showcases much of his early work. Any of the books featuring the work of Vivian Maier is also worth it!

  • @TheBebop09
    @TheBebop09 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    fat stack of photo books, good way to start the week with some visual inspiration.
    I have a doubt for the past 2 weeks, more like a question actually but, what is your opinion on mixing different formats or color and black and white in one single project? If anyone reads this and would like to share their thought that would be cool.

  • @gobo6844
    @gobo6844 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My goal for my personal work is to create a photo book that Matt wouldn’t mind having lol I suppose I should like it too...

  • @jeromebarry1739
    @jeromebarry1739 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I can highly recommend a book by Giles Duley called "I Can Only Tell What My Eyes See: Photos From the Refugee Crisis." I believe Ilford Photo did a couple of videos on him a couple of years ago.

  • @GarrettLucasWV
    @GarrettLucasWV 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It also doesn't hurt that the books can be depreciated as a work expense since you use them as content for your TH-cam video.

  • @leafsfan71
    @leafsfan71 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @skwirl828

  • @jackspaeth7144
    @jackspaeth7144 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Matt, I want to get more photobooks, especially from up and coming or lesser known photographers. Finding books of Stephen Shore, Eggleston, Maier etc is far easier. Do you have a resource for finding photobooks from lesser known artists?

  • @stuartbaines2843
    @stuartbaines2843 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting but very similar Style of book, quiet narrow in subject 🤔
    Do you consider the layout to be a critical element ?

  • @mikeway8188
    @mikeway8188 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you seek out photobooks do you try to seek out ones that you know were shot with film or does it not matter as long as the content is good? Thanks for the video appreciate it and appreciate you.

    • @Dwarvenchef
      @Dwarvenchef 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mike Way The whole breadth of styles of photography books allows for specialty books on a new level. Pinhole books large format and digital macro are tops on my list

  • @DaveBowman
    @DaveBowman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I really don't understand photographers that publish books where they allow their work to be printed over the crease between two pages. You spend all that time and effort producing work that you're presumably proud of, proud enough to produce a book of it anyway, then ruin so many images by presenting them that way. Makes absolutely no sense and as soon as I see that in a book it's a no sale for me.

  • @thejustintung

    Not to be morbid, but I can't help but think that part of the reason why Matt has been making fewer videos because..... gravestones are in demand.
