Excellent overview of Koudelka's opus
30 July 2007
Format:Hardcover
Excellent, well balanced overview of Kuoudelka's work from his earliest days, experimenting with expressive, graphical effects and theater photography, through journalism, all the way to his latest achievements in panoramic, abstract landscapes. This book can serve as an introduction to this outstanding artist and motivation for exploring his opus in more detail.
The integrity of Koudelka's photographs is one thing that really stands out in this book. Although his technical range is very wide, his themes varied and his career lengthy, a common, unifying vision is evident, linking his earliest and his latest work.
The design of the book is elegant and restrained, printing and binding of very high quality. Highly recommended.

Koudelka a unique photographic genius
14 May 2007
Format:Hardcover
It is a great pleasure for me to have this book in my library. I keep going back to it and every time I discover something more, something new. Koudelka never copied anybody, he is authentic, just like his is in his real life. He has an honest and clearly distinct way of viewing the world, and I thank him for sharing it with us.

Koudelka is a great photographor. From his works, we figure out that we have to travel all over the world to get beautiful pictures. And from his works, we know it is not easy to get good pictures. First of all, we try to get involve into the pictures objects' life. Let they trust us and let us be the part of them. Actually, this is not easy at all. Not every one can do that and travel in a very long time. That is his life. Pictures were his life experients.
