ReviewsImprovisational--which is part of its charm....The notebooks of Robin Cracknell and Saul Leiter are delicate and lovely, works of art in their own right., What's most interesting about Photographers' Sketchbooks is how it bridges the analogue and the digital, both of which have a firm place in photography today., To many, it might seem that the art of photography is simply a matter of going out and snapping pictures. But there's a lot more to it, and there's ample proof in the scribbles, diagrams, and other materials found in Photographers' Sketchbooks., What's most interesting about Photographers' Sketchbooks is how it bridges the analogue and the digital, both of which have a firm place in photography today., Provides a behind-the-scenes look into the idea conception and through process of forty-nine photographers from around the globe., Gathers together the notes, research, and exhaustive preparation that went into some of contemporary photography's most interesting projects. From Roger Ballen's fever dreams to Viviane Sassen's controversial Africa photography, it's all here.

Synopsis43 leading and emerging photographers give insight into their working methods via presentation of their sketchbooks' (encompassing conventional artists' sketchbooks, book maquettes, online blogs and photostreams, ontact sheets and many more), accompanied by three thematic essays from the authors., Photography is so much more than pushing a button. It is a way of seeing, a way of life, a grasping of life. At the same time it involves an enormous amount of preparatory work, research, and trial and error. All photographers - the visually restless, the diarists, the experimenters, the R&D obsessives, the collectors and the cross-genre free-wheelers - know this as they dream of future pictures and agonize over the next big project. They create speculative work that may blossom into something important, or wind up in a box under the bed - or its virtual equivalent. This book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the working methods of nearly 50 photographers from around the world. In their own words, they present selections from their 'sketchbooks': everything from Polaroid studies to smartphone snaps, diaries, found photography, installations, zines, blogs and online photo streams alongside traditional contact sheets, photo albums and book dummies. With over 500 images, Photographers' Sketchbooks is a compelling insight into the ways professional photographers realize a personal vision., Find out how Alec Soth constructs his projects, why Trent Parke relies on old-fashioned Polaroids and hand-made books, and how forty-one other photographers experiment with new and old technologies, turn their photo-diaries into exhibitions, and attract audiences of millions via online platforms. This book celebrates the creative processes of the modern photographic era, in which blogs and Instagram streams function alongside analog albums and contact sheets, and the traditional notebook takes the form of Polaroid studies, smartphone pictures, found photography, experimental image-making, and self-published photo-zines. Each photographer presents his or her sketchbook: several pages of images that convey his or her working methods and thought processes. These intimate, oneoff presentations are accompanied by engaging interviews that reveal how the simple act of pressing a shutter can capture and express a fully realized personal vision. Three essays by the authors explore subjects at the cutting edge of contemporary practice. Designed to satisfy the most demanding of image junkies, this is an indispensable resource for anyone with an interest in photography or the creative process.
