Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks are please to announce the publication 'Bristol Sounds' by Mark Simmons, published to coincide with an exhibition that took place during the autumn programme of Bristol Photo Festival in 2021. The photographs chronicling Bristol s music scene since the 1980's by Mark Simmons will go on display, many for the first time, as part of Bristol Photo Festival. Studio portraits of artists will be displayed alongside photographs capturing music events and venues across the city. Collectively, these photographs demonstrate the diversity and energy of music in and across Bristol during a period of great creativity. Simmons revisited his archive of over one hundred thousand images approximately 20 thousand focusing on music to select 30 to represent the city s recent musical heritage both mainstream and counter-culture. The resulting selection includes early portraits of well-known figures such as Massive Attack and Roni Size & Reprazent alongside influential but less-well known figures such as John Stapleton, AKA Dr Jam, the Moonflowers, Sub Love, Phantom Limb and Rob Smith AKA RSD of Smith & Mighty, pivotal pioneer of the Bristol Sound . Alongside these portraits, the collection includes images documenting deep house nights at Trinity, early Drum & Bass Jungle sessions at Malcolm X, St Paul s Carnival sound systems and street revelers, the crowds at Ashton Court Festival, and dance competitions at Easton Community Centre among others. Simmons was most active on the music scene in the 1990's, working for club promoters, local and national magazines. As a result, many of the images in the exhibition were taken as professional commissions where Simmons would often stay for several hours to dance and immerse himself in the ambiance. Being a part of the collective experience gained him tacit acceptance to record these often unguarded and open portraits. In addition to his work documenting music, Simmons has worked as a photographer/photojournalist in the fields of the arts, community activity and wider political engagement. When taking (action) photos you ve got to be in the eye of the storm to really capture that moment and Mark has always been that guy Daddy G (Massive Attack). Signed by Author(s).

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. This publication imagines a day in the life that we find lying dormant in Myers archive. This beautiful hardback, clothbound book features as a B-side to The Works trilogy, and will be produced at equally high standards with the majority of images previously unpublished. Although RRB have already published the landmark trilogy of John Myers we are fortunate that more photographs have recently come to light and are published here for the first time. Even more fortunate is the fact that many of these are Myers terrific portraits. This volume confirms Myers role as one of the key portraitists of post-war Britain. Martin Parr This narrative approach to Myers' collection is the first of its kind. The publication weaves together distinct customs of a peaceful middle England and uncanny sights that don t conform to how the world should look. Frames throughout the book invite us to step into nostalgic environments. Passing through each threshold, we are greeted by folk often characterised by their occupations - butchers, sales assistants, dinner ladies. Myers has always maintained that he had no grand plan with his photography, simply shooting what his eyes were drawn to. In this respect, perhaps this book is somewhat autobiographical. Houses, buses,removal vans, hairdressers, people having their photograph taken, roofs being replaced, washing drying, bananas growing, tyres, houses and ice cream for sale. They are all here. We are often unconscious of this fabric of the world , but here we recognise the sense of comfort. The habitat presented is Myers most immediate surroundings, Stourbridge in the Midlands, UK. There is a familiarity in these images that can be felt across generations of suburban dwellers alike. When we look closely at the images, glimmers of anecdotes seem to emerge.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Softcover 248mm x 285.2mm, 116 pages .there are images in this book that I just cannot see being made.ever, let alone when they were And THEY WORK. How does one come up with taking those images? - Brad Feuerhelm Drawing from all three of Myers previous books published by RRB Photobooks, The Guide is the best of The Portraits, Looking at the Overlooked and The End Of Industry combined with Myer s unique prose, providing the only definitive answer to Feuerhelm s question. Myers demonstrates his remarkable self-awareness with a wry wit in describing his pictures, like the best of teachers he is neither dry nor academic but draws the reader into conversation. The Guide is very much a photobook, its large format gives Myers images the size and space they deserve. Each story stands on its own page among its companion images, allowing the text to be dipped into at will as the eye takes in the rich visuals. Also featured in The Guide are 5 previously unpublished images, including two rare self portraits contemporaneous with the rest of Myers work. The Guide is a window into the man himself, these new images adding visual context to Myers words.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. RRB Photobooks is proud to launch Platform, a new publishing project supporting emerging voices in British Documentary Photography. The project draws on the photographic legacy of RRB's existing catalogue to take part in writing the documentary tradition of the future. The inaugural Platform title, Hannah Platt's Nosey Parker, will launch at BOP Bristol. Book signing details will be announced shortly. In Nosey Parker, Hannah Platt revisits Peter Mitchell's Leeds and surrounding cities five decades after he first picked up a camera. Platt works with a quickness and wry humour where Mitchell is contemplative; drawn to bright colour, graphic lines and typographic treasures. This series celebrates the everyday. Fleeting beauty, bold type, golden sunrises, and stand-out shop fronts wink to the charm and wit of a very British land. In every nook and cranny, photographer Hannah Platt captures the mundanity of our lives with an appreciation for the people and places, of Leeds and beyond, that showcase their unsupervised humour - which is perfect for a Nosey Parker. This playful approach is reflected in Platt's design work. A strong colour story, laser cut details and a hidden final image engage the viewer and encourage interaction with the book as object as well as photographic narrative. The book includes a foreword by Martin Parr, whose work on Peter Mitchell's title Strangely Familiar focussed the world's lens on the city of Leeds, inspiring the tradition Platt's work seeks to continue.

RRB Photobooks / IC Visual Lab November 2019 Softcover, 152 pages 23.4 x 15.6 cm Design by Alejandro Acin Edited by Alejandro Acin, Amak Mahmoodian & Aaron Schuman Edition of 800 including 100 special edition copies with two signed and limited pigment prints) Photo/Texte winner at Les Rencontres D'arles 2020 RRB Photobooks and IC Visual Lab are pleased to present Zanjir, a book based on the project Where Time Stood Still by Amak Mahmoodian. Zanjir is a conversation imagined between the artist Amak Mahmoodian (1980-present) and the Persian princess and memoirist Taj Saltaneh (1883 - 1936). In Zanjir, Amak Mahmoodian draws on imagery from the King's collection from the 19th Century held at Golestan archives in Tehran and photographs she took in Iran to explore feelings of loss and separation from family and homeland. Through memories and dreams, Zanjir mythifies absence and presence. The present which continuously exists in past, and the past which continuously exists in present. Amak Mahmoodian is an artist born in Shiraz and lives in Bristol, UK. In 2015, she completed a practice based doctorate in photography at the University of South Wales, having previously studied at the Art University of Tehran. The artist s work questions Western notions of identity, expressing personal stories that pertain to wider social issues which draws on her experiences in the Middle East, Asia and the West. Her previous project, Shenasnameh, has been widely exhibited internationally and the accompanying artist photobook won many awards and critical acclaim in publications as diverse as Time magazine, Lensculture and Foam magazine. In addition to her own artistic practice, Mahmoodian is a curator and through the Ffotogallery touring exhibition Bi nam Image and Identity in Iran she provided first European exposure for emergent Iranian artists and photographers, presenting work previously unseen outside Iran.

Soft cover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks is delighted to present Kingdom of Hounds, a new publication from documentary photographer Tony O Shea. Born in 1947 in County Kerry, Ireland, O Shea set out to return annually to his home county to pursue the Kerry Beagle drag hunt. Kerry beagles, one of the oldest native Irish dog breeds, are bred as hunters and trained by the local huntsmen. As strong a presence in the images as they are in the community, throughout the book the Kerry beagles demonstrate their hardy bloodlines. The hounds plunge into strong river currents, soar over high hedges and rough terrains, not once taking their mind off the task at hand. Shot over 30 years, the huntsmen photographed are O Shea s neighbours and friends, giving him a unique perspective on the community that an outsider would never achieve. Living in County Kerry, they are shaped by the harsh landscape in which they reside. Many of the huntsmen come from families who have been breeding and training hounds for generations and the rivalries between neighbouring hunts have been around for just as long. Regarded as one of Ireland s most important contemporary photographic artists, Tony O Shea is interested in capturing the deeper truth to how people live. This is prevalent in Kingdom of Hounds, where O Shea offers a locals perspective into the intricacies of the County Kerry hunt. Through gruelling weather, competitive tensions and celebrations, O Shea s delicate photography shows us the intimate moments of a community coming together to continue this deeply rooted tradition. O Shea combines the approach of a poetic European documentary tradition an empathetic, if at times almost Beckettian sense of the absurd with an anthropologist s eye for social realities. In these hard-hitting, eloquent pictures he has captured the many complexities of a country undergoing profound change, at the same time, securing for himself a key place in the canon of Irish photography.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. 3rd January 2019 RRB Photobooks Grey-Blue Cloth, Hardcover Size 250 x 285 mm Extent 136 pages ISBN 9781999727543 More Info Krass Clement s new work stems from a short visit he made to Bristol in June 2016. He had been invited to speak at Photobook Bristol and also to discuss a potential future publishing project. He had not planned this book but it developed during his stay. Unlike many of his other works, he started editing and sequencing his images as soon as he returned to Denmark. The time in Bristol coincided with the run-up to the UK referendum on future membership of the European Union. The notion that Britain may leave the EU troubled Krass Clement deeply, and no doubt it influenced his mood and perception as he was taking the photographs. The ambiguities of being left behind, loneliness, feelings of limbo and powerlessness are present in all of Krass Clement s books and are not place-specific, but nonetheless few show this as powerfully as his images around Bristol s Cut. The Cut is an artificially constructed waterway which was built in the early 19th Century to help to create a floating harbour. It is about 3 kilometers long and divides Bristol, with the traditionally more affluent part being located on the North side. Most of Krass Clement s pictures were taken on the South side.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks, June 2022 Hardcover, petrol blue linen 20.5 x 26.5cm portrait 144 pages First Edition RRP £50 | £275 with print First 50 pre-orders and all special edition copies will be signed In 1991, Krass Clement travelled to Ireland at the invitation of the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, a trip which resulted in Clement s best known publication Drum. This work, shot in a single evening on just three and a half rolls of film, has typified Clement s work ever since. Clement works quickly, moving through spaces as a visitor and an observer, working as unobtrusively as possible. Clement spent several weeks in Ireland applying his philosophy of process to each of the places he visited, most notably Dublin, two hours South of Drum village, and published by RRB Photobooks in 2017, and Belfast, this time two hours to the North, and published now for the first time. Clement s process remained the same for his time in Belfast, he moved through the city turning his lens on the faces and landscapes he found there; the children going to school, the shop fronts and the windows of private homes, the moments of open space between buildings. Yet in Belfast, the mood is different, not by design or by a change in approach but by the nature of the subject. Belfast in 1991 had seen decades of conflict, the ceasefire of 1994 still some years away, which, coupled with the decline of the ship building industry and economic policy of the later 20th Century had left great areas of Belfast in urgent need of regeneration. British soldiers wait in the front yards of private homes, children play in derelict-looking streets, Clement moves through them and documents without making judgement; he is not a journalist looking for an angle or a conflict photographer seeking to expose the truth on the ground. In Belfast, Clement revisits his work over 30 years on, gathering 114 unpublished images and carefully placing then in sequence, offered without caption or comment. Clement s work invites the viewer to take his place, to spot the lone figure walking through the scene, and provides space for the photographs to be read.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. Maison CF / RRB Photobooks May 2021 Hardcover 27.5x30cm 64 pages The Roadmaker is a new retrospective book of work by photographer James Barnor drawing from across his career, demonstrating his modernism and inherent skill as a colourist. The publication of the book coincided with the exhibition James Barnor: Ghanaian Modernist at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery as part of Bristol Photo Festival, and a major retrospective of Barnor s work at Serpentine, London both during May 2021. James Barnor (b.1929) was Ghana s first international press photographer. He came from a family of photographers and established his own studio in Accra, Ever Young in 1950. He worked from this studio at the time of Ghana s independence whilst also selling his pictures to the Daily Graphic and Drum magazines. He came to Britain in 1959, and whilst working in a factory, he took photography evening classes at the London College of Printmaking and lessons with the Colour Processing Laboratory in Kent. He went on to study at Medway College of Arts, where he gained employment as a technician, eventually returning to Accra in 1969, where he established X23, the city s first colour photography studio. He returned to London in the 1990s. In 2009 the 80 year-old photographer revealed his archive to two London curators. His archive is a remarkable document of post-war modernity spanning photographs from the time of Ghana s independence, scenes of multi-cultural London, and later images recording a strong postcolonial identity in Ghana. The metaphor of the road in the book s title, suggests the continuity between the past and the present, tradition and progress, and the links between generations and peoples of different contents present in Barnor s work. The book includes an essay by Dr Damarice Amao, photography historian and curator, and is translated into English by Mélissa Laveaux The exhibition James Barnor: Ghanaian Modernist at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is part of the inaugural Bristol Photo Festival and will showcase over 40 photographs. The exhibition will be on display from 17 May 2021 until January 2022.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. April 2020 RRB Photobooks Hardcover, black cloth 240 x 285 mm, 152 pages Czesław Siegieda, born the son of Polish immigrants to England in Leicestershire in 1954, showed an interest in photography from an early age. From his teens he photographed the Polish community he grew up in, moving through fêtes and funerals with an ease only available to an insider. The images in the book, taken between 1974 and 1981, show the staunchly Catholic traditions and national customs so faithfully maintained by the community as they rebuilt their lives following the trauma suffered during and after the Second World War. Whilst many of Siegieda s images display a sharp eye for the absurd and all are marked by a visible affection for his subjects, his photographs of his close family are notable for their intimacy. His mother Helena, though physically robust, looks careworn and vulnerable, clutching a bucket of vegetable peelings or a picture of the Virgin Mary like a life raft whilst her husband (Czesław s stepfather) hovers in the background, as if ready to lend a hand if needed but not wishing to intrude. For many years the archive remained private, initially out of respect for the sensitivities of his parents generation: nervous of their position as guests in a foreign land, they were determined not to draw attention to themselves. This initial impulse of discretion soon gave way to the more prosaic demands of life and work. For decades the negatives sat unheeded in a drawer until, in 2018, two years after his mother s death, Siegieda decided that it was time to bring them out into the world. The process of digitising the archive went hand in hand with the creation of a website and the release of images on social media, posting photographs on Instagram in the expectation that they might be of niche interest to a small number of followers. The response was as overwhelming as it was unexpected; the photographs attracted the attention of many notable photographers, including Martin Parr, who encouraged Siegieda to publicise the work more widely. The book contains over 90 images from this archive, with an essay by author and historian Jane Rogoyska as well as a foreword by Martin Parr. The book is available in an edition of 600, including 30 copies with a signed and limited silver-gelatin print.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks, December 2021 Hardcover, 100 pages - I photograph dying buildings and Quarry Hill was terminal by the time I got to it. Times change and I know there was no point in keeping Quarry Hill Flats. But what it stood for might have been worth keeping - Peter Mitchell RRB Photobooks are pleased to announce the forthcoming publication Epilogue -The Demise of the Quarry Hill Flats by Peter Mitchell. The book acts as a sequel to his 1990 publication Memento Mori, which documented the dramatic impact of the Quarry Hill redevelopment project in Leeds. The book contains over 40 new images, documenting the abandonment and subsequent demolition of the site, adding a poignant final chapter to the 1990 publication and its later facsimile edition. Largely eschewing the archive material seen in Memento Mori, Epilogue takes a more narrative approach to telling this final part of the story. Mitchell is again the lone wanderer in an increasingly unpopulated and other-wordly landscape. Quarry Hill was a large housing estate in Leeds built in the 1930's as part of a great social experiment to accommodate an entire community of 3000 people. By the 1970's both the vision and the flats were crumbling and the decision was made to demolish. Though the notion of Utopia underpins the narrative of Quarry Hill, from its passionately visionary beginnings to its step-by-step decline and final end, there are no real morals or easy conclusions to be drawn. As Bernard Crick wrote, it was small things, not any inherent fault in the grand design, which destroyed Quarry Hill. It was more about timings than anything else - a sad ending. Peter Mitchell s chronicles and photographs simply show what happens to utopias when they implode. Peter is quite a brilliant chronicler of life: not just as a photographer but as a social historian and storyteller. Quarry Hill provided him with the perfect ingredients. He combined original documents, archival photographs, oral history, his own observations on utopias and his photographs into what has become a classic recipe of how to use different aspects to illustrate the complexities of change and failure. Within the walls of photography scholarship there is a standard interpretation of Peter s work as charming , best put by Martin Parr in his introduction to Strangely Familiar (2013) The full charm of Mitchell s work is embodied in images of shops and factories with owners or work force standing proudly in front of their businesses . Peter s work about Quarry Hill not only deviates from this but demolishes that particular interpretation of his achievements. Peter himself is indeed the most charming and humble photographer, but his pictures of Quarry Hill are anything but charming, and they show a much more serious aspect and intent at work. The book is the latest result of RRB's work with Mitchell to preserve his archive, much of which remains unpublished. Selected and sequenced by RRB's Rudi Thoemmes and Josie Atkinson, the book is representative of a decade-long working relationship, including both well-renowned images and personal favourites. All of the images have been expertly scanned and restored and printed to the high standard Mitchell's work demands, and presented in RRB's classic design style.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks / Martin Parr Foundation 16th October 2019 Hardcover, Red Cloth 30 x 25 cm, 128 pages Essay by Liz Jobey Introduction by Martin Parr A new exhibition and book will mark the important contribution that Tony Ray-Jones (1941 1972) and his legacy, have made to British documentary photography. The exhibition and book will focus on photographs taken between 1966 1969 as Ray-Jones, driven by curiosity, travelled across the country to document English social customs and what he saw as a disappearing way of life. This small but distinctive body of photographs was part of an evolutionary shift in British photography, placing artistic vision above commercial success. In this short period of time, Ray-Jones managed to establish an individual personal style. He constructed complex images against a uniquely English backdrop, where the spaces between the components of the image were as important as the main subject matter itself. Ray-Jones skills were gleaned from a generation of street photographers he encountered whilst living in New York in the mid-1960s. These photographers included Garry Winogrand, Joel Meyerowitz and others associated with the circle of legendary Harpers Bazaar art director Alexey Brodovitch. Their pictures defined the era as they used the street as a framework. Ray-Jones applied this new way of seeing to his native England and photographed his observations as they had never been seen before. In 2012, Martin Parr alongside curator Greg Hobson, revisited Ray-Jones' contact sheets from this period and found previously unseen images. These new discoveries will be exhibited and published alongside iconic early images, including vintage prints from the Martin Parr Foundation collection. Tony Ray -Jones was one of my initial inspirations as a photographer. His imagery showed me what was possible in shooting my own country. In 2012 I went through his contact sheets and found previously unseen images. These all contributed to a show the Media Space in 2013 where his iconic early images were shown alongside these new discoveries. There has not been a book of Tony Ray-Jones's work in print for many years, so this new publication, from Martin Parr Foundation and RRB Photobooks will correct this oversight and the accompanying show will give us a chance to enjoy this important photographer's immense contribution to British documentary photography.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Tom Wood (illustratore). 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks, 30th September 2020 Hardcover with printed cloth, 29.5 x 24.5 cm Sequencing and cover design by Padraig Timoney RRB Photobooks is delighted to present 101 Pictures by Tom Wood. The book is a concise and considered look back at Wood's work selected by Martin Parr, edited and sequenced by Padraig Timoney. 101 Pictures is the first english language retrospective of Wood s work, casting light on his 25 year long testament to the people of Merseyside. It includes previously unseen photographs, alongside major works such as the infamous nightclub series, Looking for Love, (1989) and from his seminal Photie Man (2005) publication. "Many of the images that I have selected here are portraits; these are strong, albeit subtle and understated. Tom photographed whole families, groups of workers, couples and individuals, always conveying a sense of dignity and respect. - Martin Parr Wood achieves an intimacy with his subject that s at once rude and tender loose, instinctive, and dead-on. - Vince Alletti, The New Yorker. Wood is both an obsessive and a maverick and, though often described reductively as a street photographer, his work does not sit easily in any tradition. - Sean O Hagan, The Guardian. Photieman displays the heart and soul required to do justice to a city (Liverpool) .Wood s pictures both celebrate and undermine Scouser archetypes. Catching the pulse of the city at play, they breathe a powerful life and unerring humanity into stock urban clichés. - Irvine Welsh, Sunday Telegraph Magazine. A special slipcase edition of 100 copies is also available. This contains the book together with an analogue C-type print, (10x8 inches) of the image Chelsea Intro .* This will be hand-printed on Fuji Gloss Maxima by Paul Lowe at Spectrum Photographic. Paul has worked closely with Tom over two decades, and is an expert in making fine hand-prints in the traditional darkroom setting. The print will be signed and numbered. Padraig Timoney is a New York based artist and long standing collaborator with Tom Wood on many of his books. Padraig has contributed two paintings to the project, which will be printed onto cloth to form the book and slipcase covers.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks are delighted to announce a new publication from influential British documentary photographer David Hurn. Starting in 1955 and spanning almost 70 years, this book encompasses the entirety of Hurn s career, chronologically and in print for the first time. David Hurn began as a self-taught photographer. Starting out in his early years as an assistant at Reflex Agency, he quickly became one of Britain s leading reportage photographers through his work in documenting the 1956 Hungarian Revolution. His continued curiosity in the world around him led Hurn to become part of the British and American social revolution of the 1960s, photographing many iconic figures from film and music, including The Beatles, Sean Connery, and Jane Fonda. In 1967 he joined Magnum Photo agency as a full member. As well as being internationally renowned for his photographic work, David Hurn is also famous for having set up the School for Documentary Photography in Newport, Wales. After leaving in 1989, Hurn eventually turned away from documentary photojournalism to create work with a more personal approach, which he still creates today from his home in Tintern, Wales. Linking back to the title of Hurns first ever published monograph, Photographs: 1955 2022, compiles the best of his work; from his first photographs in London, to his long term projects in Wales, the United States, Hungary and everywhere in between. Throughout this extract of Hurn's incredible and varied career, we can see his continued curiosity and excitement for the subject spanning decades.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks 26th July, 2019 Binding Hardcover Size 235 x 316 mm Extent 88 pages Edition Limited to 500 signed and numbered copies Each book accompanied by 6x5" pigment print of 'Ciggy Lads' Special Edition: In addition to 6x5" 'Ciggy Lads' pigment print, each book is accompanied by 10x8" signed and limited pigment print of 'Confetti' Benny Profane is published by RRB Photobooks, photographs by Ken Grant. The book is designed and sequenced by Ania Nalecka-Milach. Benny Profane is drawn from a long term engagement with a dockland district that Grant first knew as a labourer in his youth. Bound by a few square miles at the edge of the River Mersey, it dwells on the river's hinterland and, in particular, the vast expanse of the Bidston Moss, to become an immersion into one area and those who depended upon it. It is an involved and tender body of work, an account of kinship and defiance in a difficult land. The photographs in the book were taken between 1989 and 1997, and although few of these images were included in Reportage magazine in 1991, a majority are previously unpublished. Ken Grant s photography is characterised by slow and deliberate series made in the Northwest of England. The title, borrowed from a character in Thomas Pynchon s novel V, refers to a man embarked on a precarious odyssey that takes him between goodness and profanity. Those photographed navigate their own journeys towards some kind of stability in an era when little was. Moving through the Moss, the docklands, its overflows and the edges of the town itself, Benny Profane is a sustained account of an area and those who shaped it during its last years. In 1995, operations at Bidston Moss ceased and the former landfill is now part of a nature reserve.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks, February 2023 Hardcover, 104 pages Shot along Bristol's harbourside between 1978 and 1983, The Harbour chronicles a period of significant change for the city which reflects the wider experience of loss and regeneration in Britain at the time. After centuries during which the harbour was a central hub of the commerce of the city and great generator of its wealth, through fair and foul means, they had largely fallen silent. The end of that working life in the late sixties to the mid-seventies, left the sculptural presence of The Floating Harbour, surrounded by the disused and decaying dockland fabric: The cranes, the bridges, the pump-houses, the warehouses and in particular the giant bonded warehouses, the offices, the railways, the terraces of houses, the ship-building yards with their dry docks, the sand yards. In The Harbour Southam documents the disused and neglected infrastructure, a brief period of calm after those centuries of activity, before the redevelopment really got going. It is an archival record of the architectural landscape rather than meditation on loss. The industrial life of the docks, and all the human stories it impacted, preserved in record but not mourned. A selection of the work was exhibited as part of the Bristol Photo Festival '21.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st Edition. RRB Photobooks, 31st October 2021 Hardcover, 280 pages Sequencing and cover design by artist Padraig Timoney Irish Work by Tom Wood is a highly personal book of unseen photographs taken over a period of over nearly 50 years. The book contains over 200 previously unpublished images centring on Wood s lifelong relationship with Ireland - a personal story and conflict, linked to the wider history of the country. Tom Wood was born in 1951 to a Catholic mother and a Protestant father, who were later forced to emigrate to England. He would return home to Ireland annually, photographing against the backdrop of Nephin mountain. In 1978 he moved to Merseyside and spent the next 25 years there creating many of his best-known pictures, primarily street photographs. Throughout this period, he was also working on a long-term study of the west of Ireland, and the wider landscape of his birthplace and childhood. Family connections are woven throughout the book but never explained. The people and places intertwined throughout the images are dense with history, both public and personal. Taken between 1972 and 2019, the photographs are neither chronological nor follow a defined narrative instead they are presented as a stream of consciousness. The book shifts stylistically from portrait to panorama, video to colour and black & white, and in subject matter from landscape to interior, lone figures to social gatherings, with a gentle humour coolly observational, anecdotal, and playful. The pictures suggest a fullness; a concurrence and layering of multiple events, and edge-to- edge richness of life. Irish Work showcases Wood s artistic shifts of style over five decades, while preserving both his individuality and mastery of the photographic form. The book is a collaboration with artist Padraig Timoney, who worked on the sequencing and dust jacket design. The Irish work was initially edited by Peter Finnemore, in 2013 for the exhibition Tom Wood: Landscapes which was show in Mostyn, Wales and Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris. Wood revisited this work during the lockdowns of the 2020 pandemic and added in seven additional years of photographs from subsequent visits to Ireland. Over 400 new images were edited down to those in the book and sequenced by Timoney, a frequent visual collaborator. The achievement of orchestrating all this new material is remarkable, as Wood acknowledges, The scale and range must have tested Padraig to the limit . Wood s photographs in Ireland are his most personal and mysterious work, and an extension of the social and human attachments he has studied all his life We have the recurrence of journeying, of open roads running back into the picture, we see land being tilled, manure being dug, hay bales carried, interactions and encounters between people and animals. Work is not alienating but celebrated in such pictures Human bonds, generational and family ties recur as do certain places. One gets the sense of encircling and depicting the same area, over and over. - Mark Durden, Exhibition Introduction, Paysages Intimes , Centre Culturel Irlandais, Paris Ansel Adams he is not. Tom Wood does not aspire to the splendors of the Grand Canyon and its million-years-old grandeur. He is located, lodged, locked into the immediate geology, the grains of sand of human strata. He records the phenomena of the human species [In Ireland as] in Merseyside he is outsider and insider at once Embedded in the community, a participant observer . Bob Quinn, Irish Arts Review Tom Wood was born in 1951 in County Mayo in the west of Ireland. He lived and worked in Merseyside between 1978 and 2003, before moving to his current home in North Wales. Wood has published numerous books, including Looking for L.
