Background information
"A real must-have in the field of specialist photo book literature; in 24 interviews, the French photo (book) specialist Rémi Coignet investigates the role of the photo book in the work of his internationally known interlocutors - including photographers, designers and publishers - plays and how their photo books are designed. Published in a total of three volumes so far, the 'Conversations' by Rémi Coignet are wonderful teaching material to delve deeper into the subject of the 'photo book'. 'Conversations' will still be one in ten years are important for the understanding of photo books, as Coignet starts directly at the source of the information. Both the English and French-language editions are legible and easy to understand.
