A lavish coffee-table hardback book catalogue --Spectator
Product Description
At the dawn of photography, various image-makers explored camera-less techniques, and today there are a number of artists who continue to challenge the belief that a camera is necessary to create a photograph. Shadow Catchers presents the work of five leading practitioners Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neusüss who, by casting shadows on light-sensitive paper or by chemically manipulating its surface, capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The results are powerful images, often with surreal effects and symbolic content. This is the first book to gather together the exciting works of these key contemporary artists, revealing the technical processes and creative practices involved in their art. In an age of mass-produced imagery, Shadow Catchers offers hand-crafted photographs that are both haunting and thought-provoking.

After seeing the exhibition at the V&A recently, I fell in love with the work and needed to buy the book. In the V&A shop it costs £40 but I got it here on amazon a few days later for only £25! Really good book, it has big colour images from all the works displayed in the show and it writes about the processes the artists go through to create their work and the artist's backgrounds. All you need to know! I collect a lot of art books and this is by far one of my very favourites.

My daughter and I went to the exhibition that this book is from and so loved it we wanted to get the book to be able to learn more about the photographers. However the original on sale in the museum was far too expensive for our purse! This is the identical book but at a very resonable price and well worth it.
