Ute Behrend


With this book i dont fully understand why the photographer put these images in the book, front cover to cover there are just images, no explanations, just the images left to speak for themselves.

''According to Behrend: "Brave girls need good shoes so they can run away when things get dangerous." Her work--all about girls, girls, girls--is cross between Nan Goldin and Martin Parr. Photographs by Ute Behrend. Unpaginated; profusely illustrated with color plates''









Dazed/Confused



The writing in this book is quite unusual, to be able to read this writing you have to let the light hit it to be able to see it fully. 

The pictures in this book contain all the photographers work that has been published in the magazine Dazed/Confused.






The interesting thing about this book is that it is in tow parts. One part is the 'Dazed' part, and the other 'confused'. You go through one half of the book, and then have to flip it over to the other to follow the other images.










Nylon


What stood out to me about this book is that it  catalogues the fashion of the public in all the major cities of the world.









The summary of words from the model gives the viewer an insight into what the person likes to do, is wearing, and there favorite place in there chosen city.



The relaxed, casual poses gives it a candid feel, and makes it more relate-able to the audience.



Like with The Tokyo Look Book, a shopping list is included to show where each person had purchased there close, making it accessible to the viewer.

Phil Oh

An extract from his website streetpeeper.com ''Hi, I'm Phil. I started Street Peeper like late 2006, early 2007'ish after a variety of odd-jobs: failed internet startup, co-author of a trashy novel (used copies starting at $0.01 on Amazon!), fired from 12 restaurants in NYC, occasional party promoter, and I sold beanie babies out of my NYU dorm room... So that's me in a nutshell... Hope you like Street Peeper.''


Paul Hillier

Paul Hillier is a freelance photographer who was born in Montreal (though he never learned French) and has lived in Toronto, Nova Scotia and Japan. What stood out to me about his work was the framing of the subject, with a simple portrait with the model looking directing at the camera, posing slightly. The expression of themselves through their clothes was also a big interest to me.
