What is the name of this book? A couple of pages for each photographer, all with a generally surreal feel to them. I'm sure it is called something like Photographing The Photographers but I cannot for the life of me remember the exact title to find this book.

In the summer I went to an art exhibition and afterwards there were books relating to different types of art. In the photography section was this book but I forgot to write it down.

Can you give us any more information to go on? Was it a book about the photography of the surrealist movement, or was it that the photos felt surreal to you? If it's the latter, how and why? "Surreal" is a very subjective term.

Color or black and white? Contemporary or historic? Just photography or other media too (like I am a Camera)? Can you describe some of the images?

Response by poster: The only thing that really stands out for me is the title which unfortunately I cannot remember exactly (doesnt make much sense that does it)

I remember the front cover being a light blue colour I think.

I think the surreal term applies just to me, I remember a collection from an artist that used makeup on womens faces in a rather extreme way. Possibly not very surreal at all. Sorry to be so vague.

Unfortunately all this is very blurry in my mind.

Response by poster: I think contemporary and just photographic. The I am a camera link definitely seems to be pretty similar. I remember a few of the books from that page sitting next to this book.
