Book: The Genius of Photography - Gerry Badger

An excellent book, both visually and written, superb guide through the history of photography, a must for anyone interested in photography! This book is an excellent guide to the culture of photography, examining various significant photographers, mostly  from the 20th century. There could be more actual photographs but the text is well written, making interesting links between various movements and styles.

It tends to jump around a bit but is a good introduction to many previously little known photographers and I was sorry when I had finished reading it as I would have liked more of the same! It's full of wonderful images and interesting information. Perfect for anyone keen to develop their skills and perspective of capturing just the right image.
