My Review:
I absolutely loved looking through the photographs throughout this book. Each photograph has its own story to tell just my looking at it. The author describes how each photograph was taken and talks about the photo and settings in detail.
Each photograph also has a small section where the author gives photo tips, and I felt like each tip was very informative to the reader.
What I loved most about the book was that the photographs are separated by dates, and the first photograph takes place in the 1980’s up until 2015. The photographs were also diverse, and a lot of them depict different cultures, animals, landscape, etc.
I usually have to read words to escape, but these photos in particular really drew me into the scenes that were taking place. I recommend this book to anyone that loves photography or looking at gorgeous pictures.
