The love for photobooks.

By -
I have been into photography for the past 6 years, but I realised my love for photobooks only a couple of years earlier! Though they were difficult to get in Bangladesh, I collected quite a few over the years. After recently shifting to UK for my masters, I found out they are quite affordable, especially if you are buying them 'used' or if you wait for discounts. As much as I love looking through online sites for photographs, I do feel photobooks have a special feel to them. Here are a few that I added to my collection recently.

I have got plenty of others, will try to post about them in the future. If you have a personal favorite photograph, do recommend(in the comments).

A great book with tips from Nat Geo:  There is plenty of expert reviews and tips which could potentially help and inspire you to take better photographs.Buy from Amazon

The book on the left is one of the most famous "Portrait" books by magnum photographer Steve McCurry.

A collection of contemporary street photography that you dont want to miss. Each photographer is assigned 2-4 pages, so you get to see a whole spectrum of photographers from across the globe! Buy from Amazon

Not too long, not too short, just about perfect.  2. A versatlie lens for weddings and lifestyle.  3. Produces the best possible bokeh( 135mm f/2 can be the only other lens as its competitor)  4. Almost no distortion,  especially compared to the 50mm.  I have owned the Nikon Version , which is slightly lighter than the Sony one, but the Sony 85mm f/1.4 outclasses any other 85mm in the market with its image quality. Coupled with the "EYE FOCUS" technology of the A7R2, it does produce excellent results most of the time. This lens, like most Sony and Fuji lenses, is razor sharp.

Bangladesh is yet to establish itself in the field of tourism, despite the abundance of natural beauty in the land. Many have yet to discover the wonders of Bangladesh, including the longest beach in the world. The beauty that unfolds during sunset is breathtaking and indescribable in words. Have a look at the longest beach in the world, through the lens of local photographers.
