Stephen Gill: Field Studies

This is UK photographer Stephen Gill’s guide to his own particular world of objects, scenes and the things we do–so familiar and obvious that they fall below the usual threshold of the average personís attention. An original first book featuring eight series of photographs made in South East England–from lost people and the backs of advertising billboards to people gazing vacantly out the window of the London-to-Southend train–Gill’s visual scrutiny of the everyday combines humor, formal rigor and empathy towards his human subjects. Text by Stephen Gill and introduction by humorist and television director, Jon Ronson.
