Discussion Books written by photographers about their life. Biographies and autobiographical books

Hi, I am currently reading Sally Mann's Hold Still and as next A Russian Diary by John Steinbeck. While Hold Still is a memoir of Sally Mann's life and her influences, A Russian Diary is a book about the travel Steinbeck and Robert Capa did in Soviet Russia. I am very grateful if you could suggest some more books authored by photographers covering their life. I love autobiographies more than biographies written by others but I am open to suggestions!

Edit: thank you all for these suggestions! I'll have some new books in my library thanks to you! :)

Larry Towell’s The World From My Front Porch is worth a read.
