Title: Landscape Photo Books
Post by: SZRitter on January 19, 2013, 11:58:52 am

So, in my collection of books there are plenty of technical books, but only a handful of books with photographic collections. I'm calling it that, as I am not sure the proper name.

Anyways, I need to start adding a few, such as Gursky: 80-08. So, recommendations?

Well, your mentioning of Gursky indicates "artsy" landscape orientation. If you are, however, interested in "traditional" landscape photography, a good starting point would be:

I enjoy the landscapes of Shinzo Maeda.  Have three books which I often view to gather inspiration.  About 20 years ago I was fortunate to visit an exhibition of his photographs - very impressive.
