Julia Margaret Cameron: Arresting Beauty

David Hurn: Photographs 1955-2020
ISBN: 9781739702335
An opportunity for David Hurn to look back over his 65-year archive is also a fantastic treat for the reader. There are lesser-seen photographs, better-known works and a demonstration of the breadth and depth of this Magnum and documentary legend. See AP 11 July 2023
Evelyn Hofer: Dublin
ISBN: 9783958296329
Seen as part of her most important body of work, this book takes a look at the renowned documentary photographer Evelyn Hofer’s Dublin images. Largely consisting of portraits shot in 1965-66, the pictures within show off exactly what made Hofer a master of her craft, with an intense and respectful engagement with her subjects that few can replicate.
