>>4366290>Wildlife I don't know a lot about this genre but here are my few suggestion:
Start with Richard and Cherry Kearton. They are the pioneers of wildlife photography. Their books are also free to download on internet archive.
Nick Brandt
Samuel James
Some photographer which are not wildlife photographer but shot animals beautifully
Masahisa Fukase's Ravens(also check his photos of his cat)
>/landscapeThis is a really big genre. Give me more specific information. But here are my go to suggestions
Timothy O'Sullivan
Eadweard Muybridge
Carleton Watkins
Eugene Atget
Edward Weston
Peter Henry Emerson
Robert Demachy
Walker Evans
Eliot Porter
Richard Misrach
Robert Adams(checkout New Topographics movement)
Emmet Gowin
Mario Giacomelli
Hiroshi Sugimoto
Luigi Ghirri
Franco Fontana
Andreas Gursky
Edward Burtynsky
>(and maybe some more general books about photography for a beginner)I would never suggest guides. My advice is to study the work of great photographers like a text book. If you want to learn then dissect their work like surgeon or a mad scientist. You have really know what they are doing in those to achieve that effect with the sensibility of a poet. You have to know those tricks so you can apply them to your work. Pick 4 or 5 photographer and then study and copy and mix and merge and experiment until you get your desired results. Reading interviews of photographers that you like is also helpful but your primary source must be their photography.
If you really want a guide on basics of photography then I have seen people recommend The Photographer's Eye by Michael Freeman. (I haven't read it). For gearfagging and other technical gear related stuff you have /p/ and YouTube. IN start gear doesn't matters in the start. A camera is just a tool. You need right tools for the right job. For studio lighting there must be some great books out there but I know nothing about artificial lighting.
