New Color/New Work: 18 Photographic Essays

Rating:
Summary: Worth looking through - fun to read.
Review: The biographies of the photographers presented in this book are interesting and well written. They give the reader a peek inside the photographer's heads and reveal what was really going on while the work was being created. The portfolios are interesting and the photographs well done. Some of the images are striking. I found it useful to view the work presented as "portfolios". This book is a good teaching tool if you are or want to put your own portfolios together. The heavy paper and size of the book make it a little too large for a paperback, though, and I don't quite trust the binding.
