Review:
"Photography Visionaries could well be the one-stop work on great photographers which we have needed for so long. Whether you are a newcomer to photography or an old hand, you cannot fail to be impressed by the breadth and accessibility of coverage on offer here." -Royal Photography Society Journal
"Author Mary Warner Marien ... elegantly balances the larger historical context each photographer worked in with more intimate insights.... Marien sought to focus the book on those who took risks, weren't afraid to make mistakes, and ultimately changed the medium forever-be it artistically, technically, politically or otherwise."-Cool Hunting
"Photography Visionaries is a beautiful anthology of some of the world's most influential photographers." -Irish Tatler Man
