Bill Henson — Sic Transit | STANLEY/BARKER, 2020

Essay by Peter Craven The Book Published by STANLEY/BARKER on 2 December 2020, Sic Transit is one of the most refined and contemplative photobooks in Bill Henson’s long career. Rather than functioning as a retrospective, it presents a carefully constructed sequence of images that unfolds almost cinematically, allowing the photographs to converse through atmosphere rather than chronology. The accompanying essay by Australian critic Peter Craven provides an interpretative framework without overwhelming the visual experience. Physical specifications: the book measures approximately 31 × 30 cm and contains 164 pages. It is bound as a hardcover housed in a matching slipcase with an illustrated dust jacket and blind-stamped cloth boards—an elegant production […]

Will McBride — Boys — München und Luzern, Verlag C. J. Bucher, 1986

Peter Weiermair, with concept by Axel Schenck and McBride himself. ISBN 9783765805202 The Book Rather than presenting adolescence as a sociological subject or an aesthetic motif, Boys examines the years between childhood and adulthood from inside the experience itself. Over several decades, Will McBride photographed boys in moments of uncertainty, confidence, friendship, curiosity, embarrassment, and physical transformation. The result is neither documentary nor autobiography, but a sustained meditation on becoming. The photographs avoid drama. Many are quietly observed, allowing gestures, glances, and body language to carry emotional weight. McBride is interested less in decisive moments than in gradual change—the slow emergence of identity through the body. Unlike many books devoted
