Between this book and "All About Saul Leiter", If you could only buy one, which would you choose?

I'm not a street photographer and can't remember if I'd seen Saul Leiter's work before, but I've studied the works of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Fred Herzog, Joel Meyerowitz, Ernst Haas, and Vivian Maier. Leiter's bold use of color and his ability to abstract away the mundane really resonate with and comes naturally to me. He's my new favorite street photographer!

Great master of color.

David LaChapelle is a truly outstanding artist and photographer.

Beautiful and superb value for money

Thanks

Definitely one of my favorite color photographer. In 2023, I saw a large and wonderful exhibition of his most famous photographs at the Villa Médicis in Rome, Italy. I particularly like his snow scenes

This book has been on my shopping list for so many years, but every time I see it in the bookshop I am so disappointed by the poor printing quality that I put it back on the shelf.

I loved the video, which of the 3 books would you buy first but not having anything from him?

I thought there were some great images in the book. The editing supported the colourful techno world of Tokyo. I wasn't sold on the manipulated and digitally layered images as I bought the book thinking that it was pure 'street' style. Also there are a large number of images, I think 250. When making way through the book the images/compositions began to repeat themselves. There were a lot of looking down the alley shots with no real subject matter other than the alley itself. From my perspective the series would have been stronger with far fewer photos included. In the end I returned the book thinking that I could use the money better elsewhere and I bought Bruce Gilden's Cherry Blossum.

The book is beautiful. But I like it better when it's done in black and white 😉

Amazing book. That photo of the woman selling ice-cream is so beautiful it makes my cry...

Thanks for this and the other great reviews on your channel. Fay’s work is brilliant. This was my first ‘proper’ photobook…

!

Robin, you are still the photo book god!!!! You have just become a somewhat shy god of late!!!

Thanks. I agree with your concluding remarks . Fay Godwin was in a field of her own.

Its a pretty cool book but it lacks any story, he nailed the style he wanted, irrespective of using any editing techniques or not. Maybe the lack of any strong subjects could be a reason why I couldn't as much empathize with it. The use of colour and light is great. It's got okay compositions nonetheless. Take away the editing on the pictures and most of them would look common to the Tokyo people atleast. But as they've mentioned in the foreword, its Liam's world, so the edits in addition to his photography is what makes it whole and stylish

thank you to share this beautiful book 🙏

Good opinions, it is all about photographing! Thank you for making all that treasures available to us

These portraits looks A LOT like the work of Charles Fréger, you should probably give his work a look if you enjoy these.

Brilliant work! ❤ There is something similar in Western Ukraine 🇺🇦 folk winter and Easter traditions largely unknown and unexplored. I was hoping to do a project about once the war is over and Russians are defeated ✌️

매일 잘 보고 있습니다. 만세~😊

I crazily like Alec Soth, thanks!

Parr’s style seems to have taken a turn toward the banal and mediocre over the last few years. The books ‘Tbilisi’ and ‘Mexico’…uninspiring and unimaginative

Ansel Adams met Paul Strand in New Mexico and Strand showed Adams some of his negatives: Ansel was blown away by the quality of these, the range of tones and the luminous shadows, and drew inspiration from the standard of work he was shown. I see the same quality in the selection of images in that collection. Much appreciated!

Just had my copy last night. Brilliant book. :-)

Awesome body of work ❤ Enjoyed your video very much! Thanks!

Thank you for posting this clip. I look forward to having this book in my hands. Some of these images I could quite happily study and enjoy for hours on end.

Really nice presentation. Thanks for this look into Andreas Fenninger.

It's _Cheer a-voorine,_ which means _Land of the Marram Grass_

So Much Thank You, Robin!!!

I love it ! The colorful cinematic claustrophobia is wonderful. Not derivative, but I do get alot of Bladerunner vibes in a good way. I really like the background colors at the beginning of the book,I think it adds to the enjoyment. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much

👍❤️👍

thank you so much for sharing

I like Martin Parr’s work… he has a good eye. I used a fill-in flash in bright sunlight, to lift the shadows a few stop below the exposure, in my BTEC photography diploma… yes I admit it, in the early 90’s, I imitated his technique. Visually, I liked the effect it brings to colour photography. Also, New Brighton is my home town… so I remember what it was like back in the 80’s; the prolific littering, of holiday makers, in particular. I miss New Brighton baths; and, feel the local council have stolen them from us, just so they can put up supermarkets instead… blaming it on the weather. Pathetic. However, I don’t recall the orange shorts on naked kids though… what’s that about? It’s insulting to Parr’s integrity. Sorry, but I don’t agree with unnecessary censorship. Just don’t include those photos, if you’re so easily offended by naked kids. Personally, I loved the freedom of running around butt naked, as a kid, myself; there’s nothing wrong… it’s perfectly natural. Allow children have their childhood… before their innocence is lost to the shame of adult social programming. Those who make an issue about it are the only one’s who should be ashamed. The truth is, that’s what people did in those days… they allowed their children to be free. Super imposing orange shorts only makes a lie of the Zeitgeist of the time. Apart from your obvious fear of the KZfaq censors, it’s an interesting video.

Love his work thank you.. lots of the greats are gone Lieter Frank and Klein

He shot a lot of his work in Vancouver

Hi, I miss the subtitles! And thanks for the great collection of photo books.
