Curated collection of the greatest photography books

Hacker News

Hi HN! I've built a curated collection of the world's greatest photography books by legendary photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, Sebastião Salgado, and Richard Avedon. What makes this different: - Hand-picked selections from each master photographer's essential works - Clean, minimalist design focused on the art itself - Structured data and SEO optimization for discoverability - Real ratings and authentic reviews - Mobile-responsive design Why I built this: As a photography enthusiast, I was frustrated by the lack of quality curation in this space. Most sites either focus on gear or have poor UX. I wanted to create something that celebrates the artistic legacy of these masters while being genuinely useful for people discovering photography. Technical details: - Static site with semantic HTML and structured data - Optimized images and lazy loading - Clean CSS with no frameworks - Fast loading times The site covers iconic works like "The Decisive Moment" by Cartier-Bresson, Adams' landscape masterpieces, and Leibovitz's celebrity portraits. Each photographer section includes their most influential publications. Try it out: https://photographybooks.top/ I'd love to hear your thoughts on the curation, design, or any photographers you think should be included. What photography books have influenced you?
