Question Need some advice for Christmas - 12-16-2011, 12:50 AM


I'd appreciate anyone's two cents in this matter. A friend of mine really likes Ansel Adams' photography. Last year I got her an Ansel Adams book for Christmas, and it went over really well. This year I'd like to find her another photography book—that is, a book of photographs—that is from someone who's similar in style in to Ansel. Can anyone suggest good/famous photographers that I should check out? Thanks again for any help!

Names like Bret Weston and David Meunch come to mind.
David Muench David Muench
has lot of books on Amazon and I think I read he was mentored by Adams.
Bret Weston Bret Weston
worked with Ansel Adams and has some really great work. These links go directly to Amazon and I think if you buy from these links it helps the forum (or do you have to click on a particular link within Pixtus?).

These are all terrific. I think Bret Weston is a home run; thanks y'all for the advice!
