In this video, I’m sharing the six photo books that had the biggest influence on my journey as a photographer. Each one played a significant role in shaping my career from the beginning in 1988 to the present day. I talk about why these books matter to me, the stories behind discovering them, and I’ll show some of the images that left a lasting impact on my work. ***** Enquiries: ascoughphoto@gmail.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/walklikealice Web: https://walklikealice.co.uk ***** 📚BOOKS FEATURED IN THE VIDEO The links below are to the books with our Amazon Affiliate links where appropriate.
