Portraits is a photo book by William Eggleston, a pioneer of American new color photography. It is no exaggeration to say that his first photo book, ``William Eggleston's Guide,'' first published in 1976, was the first photo book that made color photography recognized as art. Influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Walker Evans, Eggleston began to seriously pursue a career as a photographer, and in the 1960s, at the height of the monochrome era, he quickly began working on color photography. Eggleston, who was born in the southern state of Mississippi in the United States, paints pictures of the most common scenery in his hometown, compiling the disappearing original landscape and history of the United States as if it were a personal story. It was photographed. This book is a collection of works focused on Eggleston's rare "portraits." This is a series of very interesting illustrations.
