‘WHO SHOT THAT?’
Now Available Directly From The Photographer

Peter Adams, who has been described as a ‘Photographer’s photographer’, has worked on this project for the past 25 years. This small volume (A5 x 128 pages) contains around sixty portraits and is a great introduction to Adams’ enormous body of work.

The complete ‘Who Shot That?’ collection comprises a total of 500 interviews with, and portraits of, the world’s master photographers – photographers who made the world’s most memorable images. Images like the ‘Raising of the Flag at Iwo Jima’, the haunting picture made by Eddie Adams in Vietnam of the prisoner being executed in the street and the portrait of Winston Churchill by Yousuf Karsh, that first appeared on the cover of Life Magazine. This volume of ‘Who Shot That?’ contains over 60 portraits of some of these legendary photographers – 40% of whom are no longer with us.

“Peter Adams: a great Australian whose photographs I admire - a fellow sufferer, a fellow toiler in the fields.”
Arnold Newman, New York
