'She Dances on Jackson' by Vanessa Winship:
She Dances on Jackson is the result of Vanessa Winship's road trip through America, Her Photographs captures America as a whole by including photographs of scenery, landscapes and people. The Book has a feeling that she actually got out of the car and interacted with what she photographed, often road trip photo books feel as if the person didn't ever get out of the car so it is a nice counterpoint to other books of the same style. This photo book captures the atmosphere of America at the time; every picture has a story and allows us to think what happened to the American dream, the book reflects on Americas uncertainty and struggle. it is a very moving book with a simple conservative layout which really compliments the photographs and tone of the book.
'Beyond the forest' by Clare Richardson:
This is an extremely simplistic book in all aspects, it gives a real sense of quiet and serenity. the book shows a lot of countryside shots of farms and the men working the land, its a collection of simple yet beautiful images which are presented very well in the book
'The Last Days of Shishmaref' by Dana Lixenberg:
This is a Book which is about a little town in Alaska which is slowly being washed away into the sea due to global warming, it is essentially the story of the people who lives there and their lives. this is a extremely interesting book because its layout, photos are intersected with sections of green pages that include a map of Alaska and a lot of information and background on the town, which helps explain the situation and offer some insight. this use of different green pages throughout the book is interesting as it breaks up the monotony of the same pages.
