A Book That Truly Inspires

I have now made thirty five episodes of On My Bookshelf. That’s a lot of books and that doesn’t even take into account all the books I haven’t made episodes for. The point is, I love photography books. One of the things I try and do though is look at photograph books that don’t always align with the style of photographs I aspire to take. These books could still be on the genre of landscape photography or sometimes something completely different such as street or documentary photography.

Every now and again a book comes along that delivers exactly the style of photography that I aspire to take. One such book was Beara by Norman McCloskey. It rapidly became one of, if not my favourite landscape photography books. I loved it for both for its photographs and for the layout and sequencing of the photographs.

Nearly three years after the release of that book, Norman has just published his third book, Kingdom. Is Norman’s latest body of work still the book I reach for when I want to be inspired? Is it a book for your bookshelf? Let’s find out.
