Photobooks of 2022: Deanna Templeton
What makes a "favorite" photo book to me? One that keeps me engaged, leaves me wanting more, makes me feel something whether it's comforting or uncomfortable. The attention to detail in the editing or sequencing. Where the photographer is fearless, (thinking Stacy Kranitz) generous, thoughtful.
This is my list for 2022 in no particular order:
Some Say Ice by Alessandra Sanguinetti, MACK
Snow by Vanessa Winship, Deadbeat Club
As It Was Given To Me by Stacy Kranitz, Twin Palms
Baldwin Lee by Baldwin Lee, Hunters Point Press
East Siders by Gregory Bojorquez, Little Big Man
The Drake by Tamara Reynolds, Dewi Lewis
Hidden by Cristina Salvador Klenz, Brown Paper Press
Meadowlark by Ian Bates, Deadbeat Club
A Pound of Pictures by Alec Soth, MACK
