Lets start it with photography, although there are many good books discussing about photography with example and tutorial, but the original idea of the book is more matter. The book “I Am a Camera: The Saatchi Gallery”, Powerful collection images made by photographers, realist painters and sculptors (Tierney Gearon, Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Cindy Sherman and Andy Warhol). Come up with pretty shocking hardcover image created by Gearon, an image showing her two young children in the nude. Some of the commentator believe that the controversy was created or drummed up by Charles Saatchi.
I Am a Camera contains documents of social worlds, presented as morbid simulacra of those worlds. Billingham’s pictures of his father, mother and brother in their claustrophobic world, throwing cats, smoking fags, making each other cry, have been seen widely around the world, but perhaps never in a context that more painfully raises the question of their moral status. He took these pictures for whom? For Charles Saatchi, so he could amuse himself with the sight of a working class family gone to the dogs?
I Am a Camera is a snapshot of the futility of representation in a world of devastating ironies. As spectacular works of art, images to feast on, featuring real people. Not pickled sharks, but a pickled social order. I Am a Camera is more about reflection of current condition, a confession from its owner, a beautiful works of arts.
From the fashion world, this book is quite interesting and you might want to take a look at it, “The Fashion Book”. As its written in its title, this fashion book cleverly combine and define the many facets of a designer, model, or photographer. Beautiful images of the indomitable Coco Chanel demonstrates the ease of movement her designs afforded women by briskly swinging her arm out to one side, while Kate Moss is shown at the height of her waifdom, likely the mode in which she will best be remembered. This is a good book with great illustration image that you might use as an inspiring ideas.
