Coffee Table Books
Here are some recomended photography books. My particular favorites are Ansel Adams: 400 Photographs
and Karl Blossfeldt: The Complete Published Work
. Particularly in terms of value-for-money. The Ansel Adams book is simply page after page of sheer beauty. Blossfeldt's work is stricly black & white photos of plants, but in terms of showing the structure of plants, rather than the beauty.
Some books are included here because they're considered influential in the world of photography, even though they are not to my personal taste. Tops in this category is Robert Frank's The Americans
, a kind of "warts and all" look at 1950s America.
If you want a conversation-starter, try Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph
. These are some odd pictures!
