I've been looking for that Martin Parr book for the longest time! a teacher of mine showed me his work when i was about 15 and the images have stuck with me ever since! thanks for helping me finally find his work!
I love your videos where you're out and about shooting but its nice to have you sit down and chat about stuff like this new. Its a nice change of pace. Thanks for the book recommendations too. Great choices.
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 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.
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 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 TH-cam. 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!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! You are such an inspirational person (I just went out to buy a film camera and I want to get into it!) The books are goind to help a lot how to set up your pictures! Hope to see a video soon where you can show us how to develop films after shooting?! (I know you normaly bring them to stores but still..) Greetings & Thanks & Keep on doing your amazing stuff!! =)
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 :)
Lillian Sherburne Very recommended for beginners, since it's pretty simple to operate. Some might argue that it's the best film camera, but to each of their own. If you can find one for a good deal, then definitely get it.
George, theres a reason that you cant believe that the scenes in "The Last Resort" existed. They didnt. Its widely accepted the Parr staged or at least stage managed the scenes to get the images he wanted. Its a grotesque misrepresentation of the area and about as far away from Photojournalism as you can get.
Totally agree. I know the area is not super nice even after an upgrade and definitely not the most stylish community or public architecture, but there are some reasonably nice places and some gorgeous houses. The area also has an interesting and rich history. The work by Parr was a complete pastiche.

Awesome stuff. One of my personal favourites is Modern Colour by Fred Herzog!
Fantastic selection, really glad you included Martin Parr, one of my absolute favourites. Great video as always
B&W is important in B&W photography
i've recently started getting into photography and your videos really inspire me!
but colour IS important in colour photography
I'm really interested in Essential Elements by Edward Burtynsky....
lovely suggestions!

Re: Parr - "Personally, I just can't believe this existed, and that's why I find it so fascinating." - Spoken like a true modern Londoner! Haha!
good selection, and you describe them very well. thank you!
I could listen to your voice all day
Representing my guy Eggleston!
Egglestons Guide is an absolute essential
Never heard of Edward Burtynsky before. That book looks really nice and I will definitely order it..... not from Amazon though.
hey what kind of film/tips would you recommend to someone looking for that grainy look in both color and b&h photography?
i love your videos and your photogrqfic style
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! :)
Photobook ProTip: if you see a new photobook you want, get it. The next time it will probably be out of print and expensive.
This might be a weird request, but does anyone know where I could get a necklace same as or similar to his?
'Im Impatient, i have Amazon Prime'
greetings from germany..amazing Video as always
Check out the book "America" by Zoe Strauss. It's excellent and inexpensive.
Yes!! I love burtynsky!!

do you have a vivian maier book
cody hughes Barnes and noble has the new one that just came out. I can remember the name. But it's huge and extremely impressive
Do any of y'all have an opinion of the canon AE-1 35mm???????
Lillian Sherburne Very recommended for beginners, since it's pretty simple to operate. Some might argue that it's the best film camera, but to each of their own. If you can find one for a good deal, then definitely get it.
I went to the Vienna Photo Book Festival and havent seen you there >:( why not
Edward Burtynsky is Canadian, not American (sorry for being that person). :-D His work is phenomenal. Excellent choice.
That sorts my Christmas list out. Mind you the list will be ignored. Thank Guys!
read well gergo
ayy
Ngl I had low expectations but I love them
Nice
eggleston is king
WOOOOOOO BURTYNSKY UP IN HERE!!!
PS Burtynsky is Canadian
thing is it's buy a cool book or stop resenting spending money and get a good rangefinder and stop using point and shoots and start getting technical
I think you skipped book three,
cool video tho
ITS OLIVER!
Boom!
I think it'll be funny if audible sponsored your videos. I don't know
u and amazon prime ahahah bless
Read well Gergo.
Great books, but you call them cheap?
where are the women on this channel lol jw
here
i just got what you meant lol
hi!
hello
hi
heedo
George, theres a reason that you cant believe that the scenes in "The Last Resort" existed. They didnt. Its widely accepted the Parr staged or at least stage managed the scenes to get the images he wanted. Its a grotesque misrepresentation of the area and about as far away from Photojournalism as you can get.
where can i find more of this?
Totally agree.
