Reproduces 500 of the greatest photographic works by modern masters such as Diane Arbus, William Eggleston, Cindy Sherman, Danny Lyon, Joel Meyerowitz, Nan Goldin and James Nachtwey. Ten thematic chapters cover the major genres of contemporary photography, including landscape, portraiture, street photography, and documentary.
