Beard by Matthew Rainwaters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Well that was unexpected.
This is such a quirky book but I loved it. I bought it for my husband as a gag gift and it turned out to be a great find! The pictures are taken straight on; shadowless and completely honest. It fronts as a book about beards but, in reality, captures the heart of their owners. I know it seems weird to speak so passionately about a seemingly transparent book but it took me by complete surprise. I would recommend this book for two reasons. One being the obvious superficial one of 'hey let's check out some weird hair'. The second being it serves as a fantastic example of amazing documentary photography. Check it out.
