    If you’re a student of photography or an avid photographer then you’ll find the book to be an invaluable learning tool.
    The whole series of five books is superb.
    They’re easy to read, the techniques are well explained and backed by glorious photographs from some outstanding photographers to illustrate the concepts.

    Couldn’t recommend them highly enough :-)

  • Fante

    Manifeste – Le Point du Jour Editeur, France as well as Antoine D’Agata’s books/foto essays. He’s a photographer that really stands out in the crowd, and he is one of the last “real” documentary photographers. His works are a great inspiration, he really manages to convey a message and makes one think about his photographs.
