Hi,

I wondered if anyone has any suggestions on a few good Autobiographies by great photographers. I have read Helmut Newtons and thought this was one of the best books i've read so anything like this would be great.

Cheers

Even though it's not truly an autobiography the Day Books of Edward Weston is a very good read.

I love the Daybooks. I also read Ansel Adams' autobio yearly. For me it is good read. I'm in the middle of it right now.

Thanks for all the replies I think I’m going to pick up Through another lens by Charis Wilson & Self Portrait by Man Ray first and then look to work through the other recommendations.
