A wonderful read for anyone interested in the history of photography.

Reading through the book, there's photos I know I would have included and others I maybe wouldn't but honestly? How does one choose? What a mammoth task!

Choosing 100 photos in an age when everybody has a camera in their pocket is a tough to say the least. Each photo has a description from the author, telling you why they included it. There's also a very useful section for each photo on what to read/watch/similar photographers for those who are interested in learning more.

Some photos are exceptionay hard to view but have been included for good reason. Then others, like the photo of Picasso drawing with light which wasn't one I'd seen before, are filled with joy. I found a new favourite photographer. I had to keep stopping to look for more of the photographers work.

It would have been nice to have a bit more about the author themselves in it, a proper bio or similar.
