50 contemporary photographers you should know

50 contemporary photographers you should know - a volume that presents the most important international photo artists of the present day and offers an exciting journey of discovery into the inexhaustibly diverse world of contemporary photography: whether landscape, portrait, nude or fashion photography, whether experimental, poetic, documentary, socially critical or almost abstract - there is hardly a style or a topic that today's photographers have not dealt with.

Arranged chronologically by year of birth, the individual photographers are presented on a double page. From David Bailey, who is dedicated to fashion and portrait photography and captured the "Rolling London" of the 1960s with his camera, to Richard Mosse, a young Irish photographer who, through his alienating infrared images of the landscape and soldiers in the Congo, succeeds in providing an unusual, new perspective on this civil war-torn country.

With informative texts and numerous illustrations, this book offers a unique overview and presents well-known representatives of their field such as Nan Goldin, Annie Leibovitz, William Eggleston, Sebastião Salgado as well as Sally Mann, Nobuyoshi Araki, Dayanita Singh, Juergen Teller and Alec Soth.
