This is a call for RFF users to post their own personal list of "20 must-have photography books". Books may span all possible genres: photo books (portraits, landscapes, photojournalism, etc.), practical guides, studies in history/philosophy/aesthetics of photography, etc. The idea is to provide a nucleus for others looking to start or extend their own collections. (I'll post my own list in a seperate post.)
For the sake of uniformity, a couple of guidelines for posting:
a. Post a maximum of 20 books per list. If you want to split up the list into sub-lists per category (e.g. best practical guides, best portrait collections, best retrospectives, etc.) then limit each sub-list to 10 entries.
b. Format should be as follows:
Author surname, Author first name. Title. Location: Publisher, Year.
Publishing details are not essential but helpful for finding out-of-print items. e.g.:
1. Cartier-Bresson, Henri. Images à la sauvette. Paris: Verve, 1952.
c. By all means add comments in brackets after each entry, justifying its inclusion in the list, describing its particular importance to you personally... whatever.
