55 is a new series of beautifully produced, pocket-sized books that acknowledge and celebrate all styles and all aspects of photography.
Just as Penguin books found a new market for fiction in the 1930s, so, at the start of a new century, Phaidon 55s, accessible to everyone, will reach a new visually aware contemporary audience. Each volume of 128 pages focuses on the life`s work of an individual master and contains an informative introduction and 55 key works accompanied by extended captions. As part of an ongoing program, each 55 offers a story of modern life.
