I recommend the book ‘The Photograph’ by Harold Mante. He explains the compositional aspects of colour, shape, etc.

In reply to Raj.

Hey Raj, these 3 would be my picks for you: https://amzn.to/2ig1Xaj, https://amzn.to/2ismJXq and https://amzn.to/2jujIG3. Re. your stats collection, not sure I understand? I used those stats to compile the list you’re reading here. All the best!

Thanks for putting this together Mark, there appears to be a lifetime’s worth of valuable reading there! On that note, I’m a beginner photography just starting out and feel a little overwhelmed when I look at this list. I realise this may a difficult to do but, if you could recommend 3 books from this list as essential starting points that cover the creative/inspirational/artistic side as well as the technical, what would they be?

Also, you mentioned that you based your list on books showing up at least 10 times. Did you gather any statistics on which books showed up the most from all the 600 lists you received?

Thanks!

Great list Mark. Thank you for publishing!

My one vote would be for Vincent LaForet’s Visual Stories. It’s much stronger than many other photographer bios/tech pieces, and really gets you into how he achieved a lot of the amazing work with the NY Times.
