Book Review – Steel Town by Stephen Shore – MACK Books
Photo Book Review – Steel Town by Stephen Shore – MACK Books The first time I met Stephen Shore was in 2019 at Photo London, but I have known and been influenced by his work for far longer. At Photo London (during the Press Event) Shore was interviewed, alongside my friend Mary McCartney (daughter of Paul) by William A Ewing. Shore’s bestseller by MackBooks entitled Steel Town combines a series of images that he took in 1977 when he travelled across New York state, Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio – the latter amid industrial decline and soon to be known as the Rust Belt.

Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan
Photo Book Review – Pictures from Home by Larry Sultan The work was “about family history and the American dream, and how those two intersect,” Larry Sultan told The Times in 1989. “My father bought a one-way ticket from New York in 1949 and ended up in a dream house in Sherman Oaks. It was part of the cultural myth of the ‘50s about going west.” Larry Sultan was born in Brooklyn on 13 July 1946, but he primarily grew up in Los Angeles, California and graduated college with a degree in Political Science at UCLA and UCSB. He began photographing in 1968, for the Chicago Seed and the Good…

Photo Book Review – Sleepers by Sophie Calle
It is a rare thing these days to hold a book that doesn’t simply tell a story but becomes one in your hands. Sophie Calle’s The Sleepers, now newly published in English by Siglio Press, is exactly such an object—a book that begs not only to be read but to be held. To press your palm against its quilted, pillowy cover is to be reminded that this is no ordinary text. It is soft, like the cheek of someone you love; it gives under your fingers, like a mattress that remembers the shape of your rest. The cover is padded, yes—physically—but emotionally, too, it cushions you for the quiet interior…
