This book is a great addition to my photography library. The photos demonstrate great use of natural light available at the time of the photograph. I would recommend it for any expert or novice photographer.

The difference between the 1st edition (2000) and the 2nd ed. (2010) is that "The second edition includes a new section of interviews on documentary photography in the field and an exploration of the role of photojournalism in 21st-century media."

Format: Paperback
This is a great book. If you are at all interested in documentary photography/photojournalism, then you will not be able to put this book down!
It is jam-packed with a collection of personal essays by the worlds most prominent documentary photographers. They speak about why and how they do what they do, their path in life and their experiences seeing the world up close and personal.
The book has at least one black and white image example per photographer, but it's not a coffee table photography book. It's a relatively small size and can be carried with you in a bag quite easily.
I'm going to go back and read this book again. It is full of reasonings and inspirations and as a published photographer, it makes me want to grab my Leica and hit the streets with some black and white film...

This was a book that was required for a photojournalism course. It's a great book that has a lot of great recommendations and information. The book is great for all photographers. It gives you a different way to look at your work and the way your creating it. I definitely recommend this book for photographers.
Who knew, a required book for a class that's actually a good read!
