This Phaidon volume presents the work of five hundred photographers from the history of the medium, arranged alphabetically with one image per photographer and a short caption. It runs from the nineteenth century to the present, including documentary, portrait, fashion, and art photography, and mixes famous figures with lesser-known ones.
It suits anyone who loves photography, from students to professionals who want a quick reference. It is a good coffee-table book to browse, and it can prompt you to look up photographers you did not know.
Practical, outward-looking and clear-cut; an easy read.
