That Is Your Task

Franz Höllering, editor of the influential workers' paper Arbeiter Illustrierte Zeitung, once advised photographers: "focus on the simple key facts". This photographic essay does exactly that. In carefully composed images, the book examines a surprising aspect of the high street fashion industry - the widespread use of books to enhance sales and perceived value. Höllering's prescient and concise text accompanies the pictures in an exhortation to contemporary photographers.Thread sewn, OTA binding, with flapsCover: Calisto Pearl 170gText: Edixion 100gsm white offset
