​Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month:

“Elliott Erwitt - Personal Best”

Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/2WvRIBD
Publishers Website: https://teneues-books.com/personal-best-7

Elliott Erwitt is one of the few photographers who has managed to be successful and very well regarded in different genres of photography. He was a great commercial advertising and fashion photographer. And only a few commercial photographers also managed to be this highly regarded in the documentary and art photography community. He is also an incredible street photographer with an eye for the humor in a situation. And his dog photo series in New York is legendary.


Book description from the publishers’ website:

(The book contains) ...unique images from a photographic master that will make you smile but also think


One of the all-time greats, Elliott Erwitt is a master whose photographs have defined the visual history of the 20th century - and the 21st. Although his work spans decades, continents and diverse subjects, it is always instantly recognizable. Spontaneous and original, Erwitt’s visions are imbued with true artistry and no trace of artifice. In this definitive collection, the master shares those works he considers his personal best. As you browse this carefully curated retrospective, you’ll feel nostalgia, wonder—and a lasting sense of life’s rich potential. (source: https://teneues-books.com/personal-best-7)
