Inspiring book that shows you a bunch of photographers.Photos trop médiocres

L'idée de base est bonne bien sûr, en revanche l'impression des livres (avec la pliure au centre) au lieu des images elles-mêmes, le tout en petit, gâche terriblement l'intérêt d'un art quand-même d'abord visuel.Inspiring

Bought this as a present for my partner who had recently started pursuing photography as more than just a hobby. Thought it might be useful to expose them to various different photographers and their unique styles which might inspire them or take an interest in. So so happy I did this as it’s great for flipping through on the days where you’re stuck for inspiration or facing artistic block and a great way to have access to a wide range of photographers’ work you might not have otherwise known!The Influencers and the Influenced. Images to delight and Inform.
