Essential Photography Reference Books

History of Photography Reference Books

As Robert Adams notes, “Art is by nature self-explanatory�; what writing about art can do is heighten the necessity of the work. Writers on photography like Beaumont Newhall and John Szarkowski are famously possessed of this ability, and bring an infectious fondness for the art that has made their books as necessary as the photographs they celebrate; while photographers like Robert Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson supply a practitioner’s perspective as accomplished (as writing) as the images for which they are famed.

Leonard Freed: Police Work

Edited by Michael Shulman, Tony Nourmand. Foreword by Studs Terkel.

Magnum photographer Leonard Freed worked alongside the New York police for several years, documenting the gritty reality of life on the beat at a notorious time of soaring crime and great social unrest, with the city near bankruptcy. Of his near-decade with the police department, Freed observed that What I saw were average people doing a sometimes boring, sometimes corrupting, sometimes dangerous and ugly and unhealthy job.” His nuanced essay has a poignancy and grace, capturing the camaraderie of officers alongside the people they are hired to protect.

Freed accompanied the NYPD on murder investigations, drug raids, public demonstrations and community outreach initiatives, as well as documenting the ordinary daily grind of the job. This reedited and redesigned take on Freed’s original 1980 book features several unseen photographs from the archive. It is a celebration of this complex and compassionate body of work, which has a social resonance and relevance in today’s climate.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, photojournalist Leonard Freed (1929–2006) rose to prominence for his portrayal of societal and racial injustices, particularly in relation to the black community during the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. He is also renowned for his numerous insightful photo essays on the Jewish community in Amsterdam and Germany, the Yom Kippur War, Asian immigration in England, North Sea oil development, Spain after Franco and his essays on the New York police department in the 1970s, among others.

You've Got to Do a Damn Sight Better than That, Buster

By Hank O’Neal.

Hank O’Neal met Berenice Abbott in 1972 at the coffee shop of a Holiday Inn on 57th Street in New York City. After a two-hour meeting Abbott suggested he should visit her if he was ever near Moosehead Lake in northern Maine. In the fall of 1973 O’Neal did just that, spending a long weekend with Abbott at her circa 1810 stagecoach inn. They hit it off and at the end of the stay she said, If you ever get a real camera come up here and I’ll teach you how to use it.” In early 1974 he bought an . . . .go to book page >>

BLICK Was There: 60 Years of Tabloid Photography

Edited with text by Peter Wälty.

Embracing the motto You can do anything but bore people,” the legendary Swiss tabloid BLICK first appeared on newsstands on October 14, 1959. Celebrating its 60th anniversary, this book collects the strongest, most original and emotional photos from the hundreds of thousands in its archives, and presents them to the wider international public for the first time.

Photography has always had a special place in BLICK; a newspaper with so many images (black-and-white until the mid-1980s) simply had not existed before. From the very beginning, BLICK was close to the action and spoke to its readers at eye level—quite unlike other . . . .go to book page >>
