1: Get into the head of Mary Ellen Mark
This book uses a Q&A format in an interview with Mary Ellen Mark and the Smithsonian asks all the right questions. They start out with how she got started, what it takes to put a photo essay together, if she uses assistants and if art directors have a say over what she does. My only complaint about this is how short it is. But in these 62 pages the first half gives you what it takes to start in making great pictures and the second half shows you some of Mark's awesome work. As a student of photojournalism looking to do similar work, this is a valuable resource.
