This thesis addresses the phenomenon of the photo book as a contemporary way of expressing artists (photographers). The introductory part talks about the photo book, as a relatively young style figure, first appearing in the 19th century. In the modern age, this way of designing is being used by photographers for a variety of reasons: to impose a personal artistic style, to induce the emotions of the viewer and to tell a story through photography. This form of style expression soon became popular and artists began to experiment with different forms of design and structural form in order to enhance the impression of the presented project. In the theoretical part of the paper, examples of world class photographers are presented first, followed by a brief analysis of individual examples. It also mentions the first emerging photo books and their influences on photography as an art branch. This part also mentions first photo books ever made and their influence on photography as a branch of art. The experimental part of the thesis describes the process of creating own photo book, from defining the chosen topic, photo equipment, graphic layout design, choosing the format and printing, up till the realization and the final product. The end product is a blend of selected topic and an author's review realized through selected photographs and design.
