Industry-leading photography and art book publisher Taschen has just launched its 'Taschen Sale,' offering up to 75% off selected books from February 6 to February 9.

Sales like this don't come around very often, and if, like myself, you are an avid collector of photography books, this beats the Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day deals combined. Photography books are a greater investment in my photography development than a new lens or camera, and the work published by Taschen is a constant inspiration.

Renowned works by photography icons such as David Bailey, Peter Lindbergh, Annie Leibovitz, and Sebastião Salgado are all available at a discounted rate from the Taschen website. Below, I've picked out some highlights that will almost certainly make it into my checkout basket!

On Fashion Photography (XL) by  Peter Lindbergh
On Fashion Photography (XL) by Peter Lindbergh: was $100 now $49.99 at TASCHEN

Was £80 Now £39.99

Peter Lindbergh is my favorite photographer of all time and if you haven't checked out his work, I highly recommend doing so. Taschen has several of his greatest books on sale, but On Fashion Photography is an absolute cracker. Available in a range of sizes, this book takes a look through the lens of a pioneering photographer who captured the world his way and transformed the fashion photography genre forever.

Heimat  by Ellen von Unwerth
Heimat by Ellen von Unwerth: was $80 now $39.99 at TASCHEN

Was £60 Now £29.99

Heimat by Ellen von Unwerth is a kitsch tongue-in-cheek look at von Unwerth's ancestral home of Bavaria. Through her signature glamour style, she takes us on a journey through the stereotypical tropes associated with Bavaria, with great fun and wit.

Amazônia (XL)  by Sebastião Salgado
Amazônia (XL) by Sebastião Salgado: was $150 now $89.99 at TASCHEN

Was £100 Now £49.99

Sebastião Salgado is one of the greatest photographers to ever grace the medium, and Amazônia represents his latest large-scale project. Taschen has a great selection of Salgado's books on sale, including the stunning Genesis, however, I've chosen this as a highlight as it offers a huge saving on new work. Amazônia Touch, the book designed for visually impaired people is also included in the Taschen sale.

Legacy (XL)  by Helmut Newton
Legacy (XL) by Helmut Newton: was $100 now $49.99 at TASCHEN

Was £80 Now £49.99

Spanning five decades this retrospective anthology of work showcases the very best of a photography icon - Helmut Newton. Legacy includes works of fashion, portrait, and glamour photography representing the versatility of Newton's work.

Annie Leibovitz (XXL)  by Annie Leibovitz
Annie Leibovitz (XXL) by Annie Leibovitz: was $150 now $79.99 at TASCHEN

Was £120 Now £69.99

Annie Leibovitz is one of the most renowned portrait photographers of all time, and this collection of work represents the very best. Leibovitz's work is often associated with a particularly refined Hollywood aesthetic today, however, a lot of her earlier work was extremely conceptual and brought out the personality of her celebrity subject. This book represents both in a large formatted art book.

Taschen publishes some of the best coffee table books of all time and this sale brings the price point down significantly. There are many books I haven't mentioned here that are available in several sizes and formats, which also help to bring the price down and lower the barrier to entry.

Collecting photography books can be an expensive hobby and a hurdle for many, this is a fantastic opportunity to start off your collection today!
