Autobiographies are a genre of non-fiction books, where individuals narrate their personal life experiences, often drawing attention to significant events, relationships, or times that shaped their lives. This category also encompasses memoirs, a sub-genre where the author focuses on specific aspects or moments of their life rather than a comprehensive chronology. In relation to art and photography, autobiographies may incorporate these elements either through visual representations, or by telling the life story of artists and photographers. These books offer a first-person perspective on the subject's life, making them a valuable resource for understanding different viewpoints, experiences, and cultures.
