for photography, I really enjoy Benjamin Beech from Japan. he does a lot of work for tourism associations there, for instance: https://www.beechphotography.tokyo/visit-mie

There’s also Adrien Sanguinetti. He’s also based in Japan but honestly I really just enjoy his street photography videos. He does an excellent job narrating while wearing an action cam how he composes his photos. What types of compositional elements he uses. etc. His youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@adriensanguinetti

I don’t think my street photography would’ve really taken as much form as it has if not for watching his videos.

May I piggyback here? What software tools are used for this sort of work? I'm aware of/have tried: - Processing (as well as processing.py) - Nodebox - OpenSCAD (and its derivative PythonSCAD which allows using Python in it) EDIT: and METAPOST/Asymptote/TikZ which I forgot to mention What other tools would folks recommend?

For 2D output, Postscript and especially MetaPost are useful.

p5.js is a JavaScript library that I've enjoyed messing with. It's related to Processing.

Great resource to explore new fine art photography projects and artists is LENSCRATCH https://lenscratch.com/photographers/

But have you explored all of the old ones yet? Magnum has excellent courses, each is a rabbit hole of references and inspiration: https://www.magnumphotos.com/learn/ (personally working through the Alec Soth one atm)

Regarding photobooks, the best way by far is to visit your local brick and mortar book store for a photography section, or find local community place / coffee shop that has these available. Just pick whatever catches your eye! I know some libraries also provide access to photobooks, should be a good resource if you have one nearby.
