I got this for a friend who has started taking photography classes. I looked through it before giving it to her and I, personally, think it's an incredible collection of pictures. My friend is in love with it and continues to tell me so. I think it's great that on the left side they give you a bit of information about the photographer and the circumstances to which the photo was taken and on the right side is the actual photo. I'm glad I purchased this for her :)

PHOTO:BOX presents a collection of 250 photographs by 200 of the world's most prominent photographers, ranging from legendary masters to contemporary stars, in an appealing format with a portfolio binding. Photographers include Ansel Adams, Richard Avedon, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliot Erwitt, Robert Frank, Nan Goldin, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Helmut Newton, and many more. Each image is accompanied by an engaging commentary and a brief biography of the photographer.

The book is organized by subject and theme, offering a fresh perspective on the medium: from reportage to nature, and also covering war, portraits, still lifes, women, travel, cities, art, fashion, the nude, and sports. PHOTO:BOX is an irresistible and amazingly affordable survey of photography.
