Review: Best photography book I own - Plain and simple, I own several photography books from famous photographers, a nice collection of National Geographic magazines, and I've worked as a photographer myself (mostly doing agency books for amateur and intermediate models, nightlife/events photography, and a few weddings with a photographer friend) and this is the best photography book I own and I've ever seen. If you visit Steve McCurry's website you'll see he has lots of pictures there and there's not a single one that is short of great, I honestly consider him the best photographer in the world (or at least in his style), and The Unguarded Moment is one of those books so good that I'd gladly pay twice or three times it's price because of the quality of the pictures. I apologize if I sound like a fanboy, I'm certainly not that kind of person, but all I've said before is my honest opinion about this wonderful piece of art book. If you like photography this is a must buy. Review: Excellent - Steve MC Curry's best to date in my opinion -- it may be because of the size of the book which reveals more of the picture but it is a vivid selection of portraits and scenes which reveal a 'true feel' -- when photographs capture a 'feeling' that makes you think you could be 'there' you know how good they are - highly recommend J Cheshire ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 4,496,109 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 10,307 in Individual Photographers 58,226 in Art History by Theme & Concept | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 38 Reviews | ## Images ![The Unguarded Moment: Thirty Years of Photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71riC99fKsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best photography book I own *by C***S on 2 September 2012* Plain and simple, I own several photography books from famous photographers, a nice collection of National Geographic magazines, and I've worked as a photographer myself (mostly doing agency books for amateur and intermediate models, nightlife/events photography, and a few weddings with a photographer friend) and this is the best photography book I own and I've ever seen.
