EDITOR’S LETTER

Elizabeth Roberts, Editor
elizabethr@thegmcgroup.com
ne of the nicest things about
the job I do is that I get to
see pretty nearly all the new
photography publications as
they come out. Many are by
established photographers of
renown, but some are by emerging artists. Most
are produced by mainstream publishers but,
increasingly, small publishers are bringing out
interesting and beautiful books.
When a new book appears on my desk I am
always curious to see what sort of impact it will
have – will it entice me to enter its world or will
it lose my interest as I flick through its pages?
It begins, of course with the work itself – its
strength and coherence, its ability to hold the
attention and imagination. But beyond that is
the way in which the work is presented, the text
that accompanies it, the cover, the end papers,
the binding. They all add up to its personality.
But part of the pleasure I think we get from
photography books is the way in which we
engage with them, which is entirely different
from the way we engage with images on screen.
Perhaps it’s because the images have a ready
made context i.e. – the book itself – that gives
them further meaning. Or perhaps it’s the fact
that we tend to spend more time with a book;
we flip back and forth, dive into specific parts,
compare, touch, feel, smell. A book has an
almost living presence; it has weight and colour,
texture and form. A kind of life of its own.
There was a time when they said books were
dead, but it appears they were wrong. The
photobook particularly is alive and well and
gaining momentum. Long may it last.

URBAN DOG
It was the dog’s forlorn expression in this image that struck a chord
with us canine lovers in the B+W office. Monika took this image in
Kensington, London, while the dog was waiting for its owner to return.

A PHOTOGRAPH WE LOVE
Perhaps it’s the empty chair, beautiful natural light, intriguing top hat
left on the floor or the wet plate collodion process used to create this
image that made us instantly love Tony Richard’s picture.

THE FOCAL CAMERA
Dutch artist Mathijs van Oosterhoudt launched the Focal Camera
project to show that building complex cameras can be done in a simple
way. All his module designs and instructions are available to download
for free on his website. Anyone interested can try their hand at creating
pinhole, medium format and trichrome cameras.

Quote of the month
This month we found inspiration from American B&W
photographer Paul Caponigro, who once said:
‘It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like,
it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are.’
