Day #10. Nicolas Codron / A Japanese Book

About Nicolas Codron’s Selection for 10x10 Japanese Photobooks
Besides two or three celebrated titles, this selection mainly includes little-known works by underestimated artists, some in the rather disregarded fields of travel and landscape photography; all ten exemplify the osmosis between solid photography and remarkable layout design and book crafting. We hope that this selection can encourage a few to look beyond the same names that are usually pasted everywhere.
