We have some beautifully visual books in the library which are part of the Portrait of Humanity and Portrait of Britain series:

Johannah Churchill is a lecturer in Contemporary Photographic Practice at the university and she says: “For photography students the books are something to aspire to and something to draw inspiration from. Each of the books showcase 200 new portraits from national and international photographers, selected from thousands of entries, allowing the privilege of a glimpse into the lives of their subjects, and celebrating what connect us.  They’re such a valuable resource for students to draw upon - a wide selection of contemporary photographers and subject matters – I think what I like most is when students find an image in there and then do a deep-dive into favourite photographers’ work.”

Thanks to Johannah for sharing her insights into how these books are useful for our students studying photography. Do pop into our St Peter's Library to discover the delights of these books and the photographs included in them.
