<\/a>\nThe 11th book in Hoxton\u2019s Vintage Britain series, as usual we are treated to a nostalgic and playful collection of images \u2013 this time focusing on the humble British picnic. Although it might seem like quite a niche subject for an entire book, it\u2019s one that probably every UK citizen has experienced at some point, so it has interest for all of us.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also a quirky collection that speaks to collectors of documentary, street and historical photography \u2013 with images covering pretty much the entire 20th century. Who knows, you might even spot yourself \u2013 or somebody you know \u2013 among the leaves of this charming little tome, which is, as ever, beautifully made. If you\u2019ve got the rest of the collection, it\u2019s an excellent addition, but even if you haven\u2019t, it\u2019s a fun little gift (if only to yourself).<\/p>\n

<\/a>\nWe\u2019re big fans of mindfulness here at AP, so we were very interested to hear about this new book by Sophie Howarth.<\/p>\n

Designed to give us a new way of thinking about photography \u2013 dismissing the notion of perfection \u2013 it encourages us to slow down and discover the joy and rewards from a \u2018mindful\u2019 approach to photography.

\nBest landscape photography book July 2022 <\/strong><\/h2>\nVenezia: Through a Venetian\u2019s Eyes by Federico Povoleri<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u00a345, TeNeues, Hardcover, 224 pages, ISBN: 9783961713981<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Venezia_6905_C.jpg\")
<\/a>\nAn extremely popular destination for photographers, there is of course an abundance of imagery of the photogenic city of Venice. However, when those pictures are taken by a native Venetian, who knows the city better than most, it\u2019s safe to say that they\u2019re above average.<\/p>\n
Claiming to be the only black and white book of photographs dedicated to Venice on the market, this charming edition is well worth a look for those interested in both monochrome and travel photography.<\/p>\n
As well as the fantastic photographs, there\u2019s also interesting information about recent events in Venice \u2013 including a 2003 fire and an insight into the local characters and traditions of the area. There\u2019s also commentary on the impact cruise ships have had on the city, something has become increasingly controversial over the years.<\/p>\n

\nBest analogue photography book July 2022 <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Polaroid Book 40th<\/sup> edition by <\/strong>Barbara Hitchcock<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Steve Crist<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\u00a325, Taschen, Hardcover, 456 pages, ISBN 9783836591997<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/polaroid_book_40_int_3d_40752_2203241040_id_1386694.jpg\")
<\/a>\nNo other photographic brand has created a product as unique and instantly recognisable as the Polaroid Corporation. The Polaroid camera and its peel-apart\/wave-in-the-air prints were immensely popular in the 1970\u2019s among the great unwashed and renowned arts alike \u2013 all fascinated not only by the immediacy of the emerging image, but also by the distinctive look of the picture and the print itself.<\/p>\n
This curation of prints from the Polaroid archive includes an astonishing array of styles, formats and subjects shot by famous and not-so-well-known photographers who used Polaroid products through its history. It contains a potted history of the cameras, as well as a nerd-heaven index of the cameras and materials used to take each shot.<\/p>\n
This reprint of the 2005 original edition, to celebrate the best of Taschen\u2019s 40-year history, is simply brilliant.<\/p>\n

\nBest black and white photography book July 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Mennonites by Larry Towell<\/strong><\/h3>\nRRP \u00a360, GOST, Hardcover, 288 pages, ISBN: 9781910401538<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/themennonites_cover.jpg\")
<\/a>\nSelected by our regular columnist Tim Clinch, this book is a second edition of the original, first published in 2000. The project itself began in 1990, with this extra edition revisiting the project and includes 40 previously unpublished photographs.<\/p>\n
In Towell\u2019s own words: \u2018In 1989, I discovered them [the Mennonites] in my own back yard, landhungry and dirt poor. They came looking for work in the vegetable fields and fruit orchards of Lambton, Essex, Kent and Haldimand-Norfolk counties. I liked them a lot because they seemed otherworldly and therefore completely vulnerable in a society in which they did not belong and for which they were not prepared. Because I liked them, they liked me, and although photography was forbidden, they let me photograph them. That\u2019s all there was to it.\u2019<\/p>\n

\nBest landscape photography book July 2022 <\/strong><\/h2>\nVenezia: Through a Venetian\u2019s Eyes by Federico Povoleri<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u00a345, TeNeues, Hardcover, 224 pages, ISBN: 9783961713981<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>\nAn extremely popular destination for photographers, there is of course an abundance of imagery of the photogenic city of Venice. However, when those pictures are taken by a native Venetian, who knows the city better than most, it\u2019s safe to say that they\u2019re above average.<\/p>\n
Claiming to be the only black and white book of photographs dedicated to Venice on the market, this charming edition is well worth a look for those interested in both monochrome and travel photography.<\/p>\n
As well as the fantastic photographs, there\u2019s also interesting information about recent events in Venice \u2013 including a 2003 fire and an insight into the local characters and traditions of the area. There\u2019s also commentary on the impact cruise ships have had on the city, something has become increasingly controversial over the years.<\/p>\n

\nBest analogue photography book July 2022 <\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Polaroid Book 40th<\/sup> edition by <\/strong>Barbara Hitchcock<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Steve Crist<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\u00a325, Taschen, Hardcover, 456 pages, ISBN 9783836591997<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>\nNo other photographic brand has created a product as unique and instantly recognisable as the Polaroid Corporation. The Polaroid camera and its peel-apart\/wave-in-the-air prints were immensely popular in the 1970\u2019s among the great unwashed and renowned arts alike \u2013 all fascinated not only by the immediacy of the emerging image, but also by the distinctive look of the picture and the print itself.<\/p>\n
This curation of prints from the Polaroid archive includes an astonishing array of styles, formats and subjects shot by famous and not-so-well-known photographers who used Polaroid products through its history. It contains a potted history of the cameras, as well as a nerd-heaven index of the cameras and materials used to take each shot.<\/p>\n
This reprint of the 2005 original edition, to celebrate the best of Taschen\u2019s 40-year history, is simply brilliant.<\/p>\n

\nBest black and white photography book July 2022<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Mennonites by Larry Towell<\/strong><\/h3>\nRRP \u00a360, GOST, Hardcover, 288 pages, ISBN: 9781910401538<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>\nSelected by our regular columnist Tim Clinch, this book is a second edition of the original, first published in 2000. The project itself began in 1990, with this extra edition revisiting the project and includes 40 previously unpublished photographs.<\/p>\n
In Towell\u2019s own words: \u2018In 1989, I discovered them [the Mennonites] in my own back yard, landhungry and dirt poor. They came looking for work in the vegetable fields and fruit orchards of Lambton, Essex, Kent and Haldimand-Norfolk counties. I liked them a lot because they seemed otherworldly and therefore completely vulnerable in a society in which they did not belong and for which they were not prepared. Because I liked them, they liked me, and although photography was forbidden, they let me photograph them. That\u2019s all there was to it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Although it might seem like quite a niche subject for an entire book, it\u2019s one that probably every UK citizen has experienced at some point, so it has interest for all of us.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also a quirky collection that speaks to collectors of documentary, street and historical photography \u2013 with images covering pretty much the entire 20th century. Who knows, you might even spot yourself \u2013 or somebody you know \u2013 among the leaves of this charming little tome, which is, as ever, beautifully made. If you\u2019ve got the rest of the collection, it\u2019s an excellent addition, but even if you haven\u2019t, it\u2019s a fun little gift (if only to yourself).<\/p>\n Buy now on Amazon UK<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a314.99, Thames and Hudson, softback, 144 pages, ISBN: 9780500545539<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019re big fans of mindfulness here at AP, so we were very interested to hear about this new book by Sophie Howarth.<\/p>\n Drawing on the work of high-profile photographers including Saul Leiter, Rinko Kawauchi, Sally Mann, Edward Weston, Teju Cole and more, this book gives you inspiration and stories which will help broaden your photographic knowledge and offers new perspectives on creativity.<\/p>\n Designed to give us a new way of thinking about photography \u2013 dismissing the notion of perfection \u2013 it encourages us to slow down and discover the joy and rewards from a \u2018mindful\u2019 approach to photography.
