Im not one for reading but the National Geographic - The Photographer by Leah Bendavid, quite easy changes that for me. Photographic book I know, so you think it would be filled just with amazing pictures. This book offers more for those who want to take an interest in photography at all levels. The book feature some of the finest work of national geographic photographers over 100 years plus. Along with great accounts, history and assignments form the photographers themselves. Reading the book is a great boast to you photographic morale and it inspire you to get out there and take on bigger projects like never before. A fantasic quote right at the being in the book says that
"when people ask how our photographers make the world's greatest pictures, they may shrug and say, "f/b and be there."But being there means a lot " - Gilbert M. Grosvenor, Chairman of the Board, National Geographic Society.
I knew that from the 1st image the image that hits you like a crashing wave of its content. The book would be an amazing read. Although I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who wanted to read it I did want to share my favorite two images with you. The image on the below is 'Andaman Islands by Raghubir Singh 1974' and is the 1st that you see when you open the book. And the 2nd is 'Ellesmere Island, Canada by Jim Brandenburg 1986' and was another of my favorites.
