PHOTOBOOKS OF NOTE 2021 - chris mccall
This has been another odd year, and books have been a place of solace for me. If I were forced to pick my favorite book of the year it would be a tie between Deanna Templeton and Bieke Depoorter’s brilliant books! Those two stood out above the rest. Overall, it was a great year for photobooks, and, as a result, this is a longer than normal list. I hope you enjoy the selection as much as I have.
