5 Photo Books You Should Know About 

Fred Herzog is my favorite. I randomly found his book at my local library and fell in love. I get what you're saying about the feel of his work. I think the attitude of documentary work is accurate, and something we should all do in film photography. Create those images of what's going on because years later they'll have the richness and value of the past.

I can see the joy you have talking about these books and photographers that inspire you. Keep of the great videos. Cheers!

Fred Herzog is one of my favorites. Thanks for another great video. By the way, I just finished shoooting some street photos of my own and wanted to let you know that I've learned so much from your videos, and they're always extremely motivating and have helped me realize that photography can be interesting everywhere.

I bought Bystander about a year ago. Great history of Street Photography. I was aware of the other books and most of them are on my wish list.

dude on your channel for the first time.. then you drop a new video.. just subscribed.. love what your doing man!

Shoutout to an amazing photographer with amazing books Boogie!

These are good but the usual suspects. My favorites: 1)Scottish Symphony , panoramic photographs of Scotland using a Linhof 617 by Michael Ruetz.- New York Graphic Society 2) Another Outstanding book using the 6x17 Format , Places of Grace: The Natural Landscapes of the American Midwest by Gary Irving- University of Illinois Press 3) Frontier New York , night photography of New York City using a Hasselblad Super Wide, by Jan Staller-publisher unknown 4) A New England Autumn by Gerd Kittel- Thames and Hudson 5) West of Last Chance by Peter Brown -W.W.Norton & Company All superb books rarely found on RU-vidrs me too lists

Bystander is a fantastic book. I read it cover to cover,very interesting. Thanks for the recs on Herzog and Shore. I’ll pick those up later.

The diner pic you zoomed in on is the kind of stuff I live for. I’ll have to check that one out for sure.

I've been looking at the magnum contact sheets for quite a while, I would love to get ahold of that. It's also great for history buffs.

Fred Herzog was a local to Vancouver, B.C. and photographed a lot of it from the 50's when he emigrated from Germany (I believe). Sadly, we lost him earlier this year. He only really started publishing about 10 years ago. A good choice. I personally find a lot of inspiration from him.

Those large format and medium format cameras have a quality that is unmatched

Great video about getting inspiration from more than just scrolling feeds! I don’t shoot street (I may have a total of 5 images I consider street) I love your work and what I’ve seen from these books. I’m inspired to pick up a couple of landscape “classics” and maybe a couple of wildcards. Thanks!!

Great video and great books, thanks for sharing.

I have the first 4 of them, had them for years, really inspiring books.

Thanks for the good work. I got Fred Herzog "Modern Color" last year as a gift. A very inspiring book.

Only ever dropping great content! Keep it up my dude!

“Still life out of real life”. I love that!

Ya got good taste. My last 4 purchases were the same Herzog and Shore books, plus Leiter’s “All About Saul Leiter” and one by Andreas Gursky. The last four library books I took out were all Meyerowitzs. I currently have on loan his “Restrospective”. Thanks for the video.

Needed some gift ideas! You came in at the right time with this video!

These were some dope recommendations! Thank you 🙏🏽

Love how the studio is starting to look in the back! Great video

Thanks for your list. I should find and get them from Amazon.

Thanks for this awesome video. Your work is awesome too.

Great selections, I have a birthday coming up so now I have my wish list sorted.

Love ittt. More of these pleaaaassse. Or vid series on a specific photographer!

Hi, thaks for this video, for sometime i`ve been looking Thanks for this kind of video, I didn't know about the existence of those books. I hope to buy them soon to understand this beautiful art much better. Thumbs up!!

Awesome video! Smooth jam too! 🎶 Cospe - "Pillow Tears" 🎶

Certified BANGER

I've been going to my local library. They had a great book on Ansel Adams. There's a heap more to read up on so I'm enjoying the free education. Books are great, especially in this age where screens are dominant.

Yeah, Joel Meyerwitz and Saul Leiter are the some of the pioneers in early colour photography

I am here for my dose of inspiration.

Thanks for the recommendation for my future pick ups. If you get a chance pick up Lartigue Life In Color, Gordon Parks Half Past Autumn.

The 6th book on the list would be "Something to Say". Every page is amazing!

Thankyou so much and your photogprahy us so inspiring to me 😁 you inspire me everyday

Love the intro !

Evan I loved this video! I would love to support the channel and buy a few!

Nice video Evan. Although is not as clear from my work so far (especially here on youtube) I love Saul Leiter.

Evan great video. What are your thoughts on Vivian Maier, if any?

Added to the Christmas list, gotta get this to my wife haha

Second amazon link doesn't work for me FYI

Omg you said the name Joel correctly youre a real one

Hopefully you’ve seen Everybody Street. It’s on Amazon Prime at the moment. That and The Colourful Mr Eggleston on RU-vid.

„Life Along the Line“ is a very interesting book, by O. Winston Link.

Stephen Shore link is just to the home page for me ?

Evan, your link for Stephen Shore: Uncommon Places isn't working. For those that don't want to buy before you see, don't forget to try your library. I like to check out the books and then order the ones mean the most to me, sometimes takes a bit longer but saves a few $ in the end.

Awesome episode

Thanks for the amazing recommendations! There's this other book that's pretty cool called "Something To Say", forgot who made it, but its pretty inspiring as well :)

The Japanese call the beauty of imperfection in their aesthetics "Wabi-sabi".

Intro 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the reccs! Wanted to let you know, your affiliate link for book #2 is no longer active.

I picked up the one that could be found for under $100 bucks lol. I think the link to Uncommon Places is broken.

Stephen Shore's books are like Back Rooms Photos. Where it's nostalgic, yet creepy as its lonley.

Are you related to the guy that has the Project Farm channel?

Check out harry gruyaert, Todd hiddo and Ollie Kellet

What Art Company do you use to sale your landscape images?...From the video that spoke on ways to sale you images by 3rd party vendors.

Saul "Lighter "

Hey man just wondering what’s the best website to make a photo book?

My man

Firehouse by Jill Freedman 1977

What do you think about “street photography now” book?

was the intro your own b-roll cause damnnnnnn...

It's Saul Lie-ter. Not Saul Lee-ter. Just had to get that correction. Great selection in books btw.

One more The Street Philosophy of Garry Winogrand.

How do you go about creating a photo book??

Maybe controversial opinion ... but perhaps the appreciation of Leiter, and thinking ‘of you posted his work on Instagram it would be considered a banger’ .... is that I think some photographers were aware of his books/style via books. They learnt from it, adapted it a bit and uploaded to Instagram. As they did that, it became a fashionable style. Don’t get me wrong. I love Leiters work. Beautiful. He was the original. But I think a lot of people on Instagram and other social media don’t recognise where this style card from. I think Craig (sixstreetunder) is an amazing example of someone who has taken this style, and out a modern twist on it.

🤘🏻

Joel Meyerowitz. It’s not Joe-ell. It’s Joel as in Billy Joel.

Is it just me or is it kind of weird that he calls them by their given name as if they were close friends? Anyways, awesome selection of books, my favourite is Joel Meyerowitz, I guess.

Leiter - EI pronounce AY

“Jo el?

Great recomendations. But you forgot to mention yours. Just saying.

Joe-elle🤣

Picks up a photo book by the greatest street photographer of all time….posts, “Had no idea who it was or what it was…” SMDH

Goats. Awful cringeworthy modern term.
