Hi feli,
James Nachtwey is in a class by himself, he doesn't fire away randomly, he
works every situation into a classic photograph. His books can teach more
about composition and the correct lens to use for any given situation, no
matter how gruesome the scene is.
Like he stands way above the rest of them.
