Its always good to hear ( in these case read ) a bit from the big guys. Im sure you, like me, have a lot of questions you would love to ask for people like: William Eggleston, Eugene Richards, Alec Soth and Rinek Dijkstra. Anne- celine Jaeger just gave us some help. The book "Image Makers Image Takers" is a great collection of interviews.
Another very good text book is "On Being a Photographer" by David Hurn ( Magnum Photos) and Bill Jay. They have a great conversation about "Selecting a Subject". I found a pdf version here . Enjoy!!
For sure theres more people out there you would like to talk to!! How about......Graciela Iturbide, Max Pam, Duane Michals, Miguel Rio Branco, Philip-Lorca diCorcio, Alex Webb, Bernard Plassu, Javier Vallhonrat and Joan Fontcuberta. Yes, theres also a book of interviews with all these guys!! Its called Conversations with Contemporary Photographers
Hope you enjoy the reading....and please if you have any other information to add, leave a comment.
