christoph_d Posted January 2, 2010 Share #121 Posted January 2, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Having received the book "As I see it" from John Loengard very recently, I'd like to add him to the list. Best regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Hi christoph_d, Take a look here Inspirational Photographers- B&W. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
al-fresco Posted January 3, 2010 Share #122 Posted January 3, 2010 Glad to see Jane Brown is on the list - there's a great selection of her portraits in "Black & White" this month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhabedi Posted January 10, 2010 Share #123 Posted January 10, 2010 So, nobody has mentioned Sylvia Plachy so far? Her book "Unguided Tour" is still one of my favorites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted January 10, 2010 Share #124 Posted January 10, 2010 So, nobody has mentioned Sylvia Plachy so far? Her book "Unguided Tour" is still one of my favorites. Edi, Thanks for adding another fine photographer and a female at that! I checked out your blog: not so bad at all And a good idea to get yourself to go out and take those photos.

nhabedi Posted January 10, 2010 Share #125 Posted January 10, 2010 Thanks for adding another fine photographer and a female at that! I forgot to mention that "Unguided Tour" comes with a little (plastic) record from Tom Waits specifically made for the book, i.e. you're supposed to listen to it while you look at the pictures. If you're like me and you still have a turntable, that is. A nice idea IMHO. Are there any other photo books out there that come with music? I checked out your blog: not so bad at all Thanks... And a good idea to get yourself to go out and take those photos. Yeah, I was going to give my new (old) M7 a walk today, but it's simply too cold and dark. Maybe tomorrow...

Sailronin Posted January 11, 2010 Share #126 Posted January 11, 2010 Nobody has mentioned Brett Weston or Lewis Baltz yet. My favorites from the list off the top of my head...

tom.leininger Posted January 25, 2010 Share #128 Posted January 25, 2010 Jason Eskenazi's book "Wonderland" is back in print and worth buying.

nhabedi Posted January 27, 2010 Share #130 Posted January 27, 2010 I think this guy (heard about him in the German forum) is also missing so far: Klavdij Sluban. FWIW, he seems to use an M6 and also hosts workshops from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xalo Posted January 29, 2010 Share #131 Posted January 29, 2010 Hello to all, Up to now I was mainly a grateful reader of the forum. This inspiring thread makes me want to share some authors. As far as I could see the following three haven't been mentioned before: - Izis (Israëlis Bidermanas): A true poet. See, e.g., the book "Paris des rêves". Strange enough, he has almost been forgotten among his Parisian peers Doisneau, Bresson and Ronis. The first exhibit since decades just opened in Paris. - Philip Jones Griffith: His book "Vietnam, Inc." is most powerful photo journalism, and that's only a share of his work. - Antoine D'Agata: Somewhat more conceptual, very punchy black and white.

xalo Posted January 29, 2010 Share #132 Posted January 29, 2010 Sorry, just noticed that Philipp Jones Griffith is already listed. However, there are two other great Leica photographers with an inspiring journalistic style in b&w: - Abbas - Jane Evelyn Atwood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhabedi Posted February 9, 2010 Share #133 Posted February 9, 2010 Not listed yet (I think) and very interesting IMHO: Paolo Nozolino. See for example his book "Far Cry" and also "Penumbria". In addition to shooting great photos, he also uses Leicas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted February 9, 2010 Share #134 Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) I'll update the list in a couple of days: keep on posting! By the way: let's not forget who started this wonderful thread: thanks Kenneth, really a good post! And all that from buying a couple of books.

nhabedi Posted February 11, 2010 Share #135 Posted February 11, 2010 Not listed yet (I think) and very interesting IMHO: Paolo Nozolino. See for example his book "Far Cry" and also "Penumbria". In addition to shooting great photos, he also uses Leicas. Correction: He's called Paulo Nozolino. My apologies. Just my two cents, but I'd like to add that Nozolino's book "Far Cry" which I received a few days ago is one of the best photo books I've ever seen. (And I know quite a few and have a collection of about 400 myself.) I already owned "Penumbria" and thought Nozolino was someone to watch out for, but "Far Cry" really knocked my socks off. I've rarely, if ever, seen a book where virtually all photos are so emotion-laden and disturbing at the same time and I'm returning to it several times per day. Needless to say (it's a Steidl book), the print quality is also fantastic. Which in this case is probably even more important than with other photographers. You can find some of Nozolino's photos if you search the Web, but viewing them on a computer screen really can't do them justice. I'm surprised that Mr. Nozolino isn't as famous as some of his contemporaries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasper Posted February 24, 2010 Share #136 Posted February 24, 2010 Nobody seems to have mentioned Bob Carlos Clarke. A good wordsmith as well as a talented photographer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryW Posted February 26, 2010 Share #137 Posted February 26, 2010 Marco, I recently purchased second hand 'Twenty Years On' by John Swannell. Classic Landscape, Fashion, Portrait and Nude all in Black and White. He was Bailey's assistant in the 60's and 70's and went on to set up his own studio. He should be on the list Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
