Five books, five photographers. Phaidon published over twenty years ago a series of pocket-sized introductions to important photographers - Phaidon 55's. Each title includes an essay by an expert in the field, 55 photographs, each with a commentary, and a biography of the featured photographer.

David Goldblatt has been photographing since the 1960's, and has since then produced work of life in South Africa during and after apartheid. His images reveal the systems origins, complexities and nuances. Written by photographer and writer Lesley Lawson.
Chris Killip is one of Britain's most important social documentary photographers. His most important work includes a series of portraits of his fellow islanders, born on the Isle of Man. His images of the North-East of England won him an award in 1989. Written by Gerry Badger.
Martin Chambi was the first Amerindian photographer to achieve international acclaim. His work consists of showing the Peruvian life, architecture and landscape. Written by Amanda Hopkinson.
Werner Bischof was an outstanding photojournalist of the postwar years. His work was motivated by the belief that photography could raise awareness and thereby effect real change on the world. Written by journalist Claude Cookman.
Eugene Richards has created work that is considered one of the most significant of contemporary photojournalism. His images confront the less than pleasant truths of modern life. Written by reporter Charles Bowden.
