This is my first blog on the new website.
The last 2 years, I have been predominantly shooting film in either 35mm or 120mm. I have loved the experience. It’s been a double benefit, for slowing me down and also chimping.
Of late I thought I would purchase a couple of photobooks, to develop my craft. Having read plenty of reviews, I decided on ‘The Suffering of Light’ by Alex Webb.
This is essential reading for anyone interested in street photography and getting an understanding of framing.
Also, Webb discusses his reasoning for prominently specialising in the use of colour, rather than black and white for his imagery.
As much as you will consume the content of this book quickly, you will most certainly revisit the pages for inspiration, time and time again, as the content covers 30 years of Alex Webb’s career.
Essential reading and a learning for me that photobooks are better than GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome).
