What makes some photographs stay in the memory forever? Sometimes it’s the subject matter alone, but more often it’s the skill of the artists who took them. The premise of this magnificent book is quite simple: take 100 leading examples of the work of the world’s greatest photographers, and a distinguished academic will describe how they achieved their effects to allow you to recreate them yourself. Discover how to compose ‘decisive moments’ like Cartier-Bresson, use long exposures for landscapes like Simon Norfolk, and experiment with flash in daylight like Rineke Dijkstra.The images are arranged thematically, with engaging analysis of each image and a description of its technical make-up, along with a biography of each artist. The book showcases 100 of the greatest images in the history of the art and will provide an indispensable guide to the technicalities behind the well-known masterpieces and hidden gems in the world of photography. The photographers and their images were carefully selected by award winning photographer, educator and academic Paul Lowe, whose years of experience as a photojournalist and as a teacher gives unique and detailed insight into the working methods of these great image makers.

I ordered this book for a friends daughter’s 18th birthday. I am disappointed but as I need the present for Monday I have not got time to get a replacement. The book was sold as new and it does not look as if it has been read. However, there is a 1cm dent and tear on the edge of the front cover as if it has been dropped onto a hard, narrow, edge (maybe a table corner or a metal shelf edge). This won’t affect the readability but does look as if I have purchased a cheap bargain, not the ideal book that I had intended to give her about her interest.

A book packed with one example of the work of an enormous number and range of photographers. I read through it at a slow pace as each two- page spread on each photographer takes quite a bit of study. Along with a short biography of each photographer and a comments on his or her work, there is a section on creative tips and techniques. Some are pretty obvious, but others have given me lots of ideas for my own photography.
