This exceptional book, published here in an accessibly priced paperback format, comes out just as the shift to digital photography threatens to render the contact sheet obsolete. It celebrates the contact sheet as a fascinating way of accompanying great photographers as they work towards, and capture, the most enduring images of our time. 139 contact sheets, representing 69 photographers, are featured, as well as zoom-in details, selected photographs, press cards, notebooks and spreads from contemporary publications, including Life magazine and Picture Post. Further insight is provided by texts written by the photographers themselves or by experts chosen by members’ estates. It includes many greats of photography, among them Henri Cartier- Bresson, Elliott Erwitt and Inge Morath, as well as Magnum’s latest generation, such as Jonas Bendiksen, Alessandra Sanguinetti and Alec Soth. These photographers cover over 70 years of history, from the D-Day landings by Robert Capa and the Paris riots of 1968 by Bruno Barbey to images of Che Guevara by René Burri, Malcolm X by Eve Arnold and classic New Yorkers by Bruce Gilden.

Bellissimo!
Tolti alcuni “assignments” che vanno fatti con terze persone e alcuni, davvero pochissimi, che non sono assignments ma delle riflessioni un po’ filosofiche sulla fotografia, è davvero eccezionale per chiunque. Tante idee, tanti suggerimenti, tante sfide con sé stessi ed il proprio modo di fare foto. Utile per chi fotografa da tanto e molto di più per i neofiti che magari non sanno cosa fotografare, che non si inquadrano ancora in un genere di fotografia specifico o si ritrovano senza ispirazione, cosa che credo capiti più spesso quando non si sa quale sia il proprio “percorso”. Infine, se non ci si limita a leggere ed eseguire pedissequamente, può far nascere ulteriori idee e progetti. Consigliatissimo, da leggere con una matita in mano per le vostre annotazioni, impossibile che non vi venga da farne.

Un tesoro para inspirarse y practicar fotografía
Excelente herramienta para quienes desean mejorar su técnica fotográfica o ampliar temática y ejercicios de estilo / composición. Las actividades son muy variadas. Además, me ha permitido conocer a fotógrafos que no tenía en el radar.
