The Photograph That Changed My Life is a photography book by Zelda Cheatle with introduction by Geoff Dyer.
 
"More than 50 acclaimed photographers, including Nan Goldin, David Bailey and Joy Gregory (and several musicians, actors and collectors) have been brought together to reveal which are the most important photographs, that had a life-changing effect or significant impact on them. The resulting book, The Photograph That Changed My Life, tells the stories behind their choices. The rollcall of international contributors to the book bears witness to a long career in photography.
 
The photographs they have chosen are not part of the daily visual onslaught but “are important images, seared into memory, a myriad of photographs that has, in some way, stopped people in their tracks.” and while each contributor approaches their task quite differently, all are generous with their confidences. “I could never have predicted their choices nor the stories. Really, they have all been themselves. they haven’t tried to write something that is less than honest, they have written from the heart.”
