From Nigel Grierson, (photographer/sleeve designer and joint creator of the 4AD visual identity), and with an essay by esteemed photography writer, Gerry Badger, comes the first volume of his street photography from the early 1980s - created while studying at The Royal College of Art in London. Here 'the decisive moment' combined with Grierson's uniquely minimalist eye, are employed to create images of great power, humour and poignancy. Pioneering 'flash in daylight' within British documentary photography from the late 1970s, onward ('a time when natural light was almost a creed' - Badger), this award winning work, is finally published. In his brief introduction, Grierson speaks of his fascination for the 'paradoxical' nature of the medium, being both documentation and self expression simultaneously. He states, 'It seemed to me, that through photography and observation, there was the possibility, for the two great arcs of life; one of the outer world of reality / documentation, and the other of the inner world of fiction and dream, to come together with the single click of a shutter'.
