One of my biggest passion beside photography, it's to get lost in bookshops and libraries.
|
||
|
|
My eyes were attracted by a book called "The Photographer's Playbook" and especially seeing
|
||
|
|
the publisher "aperture" which is usually an incredible publishing house for photography books.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The book is composed of 307 assignments and ideas for photographers. Don't be scared, it's not
|
||
|
|
a schoolbook. It's basically ideas or advices given by wellknown photographers to their students.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are lots of them and even if you don't like some, you can skip to the ones you like.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some ideas are really refreshing like the one from Elisabeth Tonnard which uses the text of Roland
|
||
|
|
Barthes "The Death of the Author" and propose to replace each occurence of words like "words" with
|
||
|
|
"images" or "write" with "take photographs". Then she proposes to use the resulting text as a trigger
|
||
|
|
for your photographic works.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some are meaningful notes that can be used as day-to-day support like the ones from Denise Wolff or Alex Klein.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A great companion book for any photographers willing to be enlighten or shaken by random notes or ideas.
