Photojournalism: The World's Top Photographs And the Stories Behind Their Greatest Images

by Andy Steel

The World's Top Photojournalism offers a showcase of the best in the field, as well as an impressive record of some of the current events that have changed the world. There are many single images that encapsulate an event. Often, though, the photojournalists, who go to dangerous lengths to capture the shot, remain under the radar. The latest in the series pays homage to the portfolios of 30 of the world's leading photojournalists, celebrating work that is by turns gritty, provocative, beautiful, instructive, and often shocking. From battlefields and civil unrest to documentary images of everyday life, this book brings together a collection of current events that have defined our times.

I bought this book because I was working on a design project that had stunning photography and I wanted to get ideas about how to show it off to best effect. This book is a nice example of how to use a simple, understated design to really present the images with the most impact.
