Desiree Dolron, Terra

 This  is my altime favourite book. The photography is stunning and the printing is divine. I stumbled  across this artist when I  was in the Netherlands and I have treasured this book ever since.

02

Beate Gutschow, Aperture

 A book of painterly photographic ladscape stitched  seemlessly together. The photography is subtly surreal with differing light sources adding a sense if strangeness to seemingly serene scenes. Its a  beautiful book, and I am  always inspired  after looking at it.

Loretta Lux, Aperture

Brilliant portraiture, what can I say, she is a legend!

04

Diane Arbus 'Revelations'

This is a book I can pore over for hours. The photographs interspersed with personal Letters and memories is a very fulfilling experience.

05

The Twighlight of Mr Kemp by Alexander James

Beautiful Landscapes in  subtle and incredibly atmospheric light.

06

Mary Ellen Mark, Exposure   or The Americans Mary Ellen Mark

Mary Ellen Mark had a  massive influence on my work. Her  Photojournalism is stratingly honest and intimate. She is a photographer I greatly admire.

07

Passengers. Dagmar Keller and Martin Wittwer

 A beautiful, realised series of  passengers. Painterly, darkly romantic, almost sensual portraits of people I can only imaginge are strangers to the photographer.

I have a long standing fantasy to  one day build a beautiful treehouse/Studio/shack. This book is the  first one I have come across that fills me with  the kind of inspiration I need to make the dream come true.
