Recommended Reading List for MFA

February 23, 2026 - Great Text Book / Writer

The list below is mostly from the MFA course and I cant say I read all of them – many were available in the library at Ulster University and I ddi try to dig in to as many as I could – I sometimes struggled to find the balance between research and work on the dissertation/my practice.

RESOURCES

This is where I keep the research — over 200 studies of the photographers, writers, curators and exhibitions I’ve found most compelling. Each entry offers a summary of their practice together with a few examples of their work, where copyright permits.

FOCUS


Browse by genre (use the hamburger menu above on mobile) — Street, Fashion, Landscape, Documentary and others. Most of these categories took shape during my MFA studies and many of the people here appear in multiple categories.

NATIONALITIES

View landmark exhibitions like New Topographics and The Family of Man alongside individual studies of Magnum photographers and many others, like the "Terrible Three", who have shaped the way we see.
