The Suffering of Light: Thirty Years of Photographs by Alex Webb

Incredible book

A must have book for photographers

An utterly mesmerising collection that must represent just about the best value for money photobook currently on the market. Fans of Alex Webb’s photography will find a dazzling collection of some of his finest photographs and anyone coming to his work new will be astonished by the vibrancy and complexity he packs into every picture. A joy to view.

The photo album is astounding. It came in a perfect condition and very quick as well.

What an excellent book as a way of getting an overview of his work

I hope maybe to write something more later but for now just a quick review as Im so impressed with this book, which I just got for my birthday ( I requested it as it came up on Amazon's 'recommended' - the cover got me interested and as I already had his 'Istanbul' book which I found cheap whilst browsing in a bookshop - I got it ordered and eagerly looked forward to seeing whether it lived up to expectations)It did!. :)This has to be my all time favourite colour street photog book ever, maybe my all time favourite photo book ever ( and Ive got a few!). I have never enjoyed turning the pages of a photo book so much, the anticipation, excitement and ensuing smile and simple joy brought at the turn of nearly every page had me mentally jumping for joy and catching my breath at the physical sensuality of the rich colours and intricate, almost maze-like, compositions.He reminds me of and is equal to Steve Mc Curry and William Eggleston for colour, is reminiscent of Ray K Metzker and Lee Friedlander for novel and intricate compositions, certainly equals HCB for decisive moments, and really shows Martin Parr up a treat ( eat your heart out Martin!), - absolutely great!, I have never seen better; in fact, never seen as good.And thank fully the quality of the book is right up there with the best, the paper, cover, and the colour reproduction are top notchIt's such a treat to discover someone you really should have known a long time ago. Thanks go to Alex, for putting this book together:)

What can I say? Truly a seminal work on the use of colour, light and layering.A must have in any street photographer’s collection.

This is an absolute amazing photography book with truly stunning photography. First off the hook is HUGE, but the quality of the prints is beautiful. Alex Webb is wonderful photographer and this book will not disappoint. Highly recommend
