Photography books were my first entry into the world of photography. When I was starting out as a young photographer in the early ‘80s, the internet did not exist, so the only way to access the work of international photographers that I admired, such as Ansel Adams, was through books. For today’s Instagram generation the concept of photography books may seem foreign, but for me, they played a big role in my early years as a photographer, and will always hold a special place in my studio and home.
