This is my board of all of the possible weird photoshoots I’d love to take inspiration from. The basic premise is one day I will publish a novel and when the reader flips to the inside sleeve how can I make the most abstract or odd version of an Author Photo.

This is a book of interviews with 12 pioneering artists who create photo books. It’s a long discussion about two of my deepest passions: photography and bookmaking. I found it because of the curator David Campany, and it is a must have for those who take their photography seriously. The most visceral interview is with the photographer Larry Clark, who talks about getting sued by the grandparents of a baby he photographed, leaving out pictures of sawed off shot guns, and his commitment to never making his friends look bad. There’s a lot of passages about book design, a range of photography styles, and the meaning of success. This book is a gold mine of insight, and I carry it with me like a bible.

If I say "Gritty street photography that feels like Dan Arnold took a foray into exclusively shooting dark and moody urban B&W shots" and you say "yes please", then Hamburger Eyes is for you. Basically what you got here is a bunch of full B&W photo zines & books with work from tons of photographers, all with a very cohesive semi wild feel to their work. Cop up their latest zine here and maybe some merch while you're at it!
