[Leica] PROOF: Photography in the Era of the Contact Sheet

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Thanks, I will check out the book.

For portraiture, may I suggest two photographers I am very fond of:

Gregory Heisler, whose "50 Portraits" is a must have in every library:

Dame Jane Bown, IMHO, the best portrait photographer ever. Just natural
light, an OM1 and a 50mm lens through her 60+ year career with The
Observer. Any of her books is a treat, but "Exposures", IMHO, is definitive:
