Secondary research of photography books

These in particular photographs draw me in as these types of photography books are very simple but informative in the sense that they use imagery to covey their meaning. The photographs in each individual photography book for my research make the books unique and extremely intriguing to look through, also giving the books a refined and professional aesthetic. As I am focusing on the season "autumn", to me it seems wrong not to shoot in colour as autumn has an emphasis on using effective earthy colours, such as browns, orange, greens ect.
