With the holidays around the corner, I wanted to touch on some of my favorite photography books. I love that books can help give us a glimpse of what other photographer’s works are/were, what they were thinking when making an image, and in turn, give one inspiration.

Annie Leibovitz at Work - A great book that dives into behind the scenes of her work and other photographer’s work.
Imogen Cunningham: A Retrospective - A great book covering Imogen’s work. My favorite photos are, of course, her flower work.
Sheila Metzner: From Life - Confession this is on my own wish list this year. I got a few moments to browse through it at a local bookstore and I knew I had to have it. Sheila’s work spans from fashion to intimate portraits of her family.

These would be great gift ideas from a budding photographer to a well-seasoned one.

Happy Holidays!
