Many photographers enjoy assignments and ideas in photography, the Photographer's Playbook is a great source of inspiration. +.. type: text +.. author: Alexandre Dulaunoy + +.. figure:: playbook.jpg + + playbook, ƒ/2.2, 49mm + + 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.
