Pass my sunglasses,
This review is from: Color Is Power (Hardcover)
You really get your money's worth with Robert Walker's photography. Throughout the book so many photos are packed with extra dimensions and depth and you can visually crop them into several more images within one photo and I haven't even got to the dazzling color. Fortunately he works on city streets where everything is going on at once and somehow he manages to capture this visual busyness (or chaos even). I think his best photos are the ones where utility workers and equipment or traffic provide plenty of odd angles and pictures within pictures.
Of the six chapters only one: Redeem All (more or less in the middle of the book) slows the pace by using photos that are much simpler and in more subdued color. The other chapters, it seems to me, just blend into each other so that the chapter titles seem rather redundant. The color vibrancy of these photos might not be everybody's taste but that is his style and you could never say his work is dull. I consider him the LeRoy Neiman of photography. ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.

masterful color street photography,
This review is from: Color Is Power (Hardcover)
This photographer has two great books, and is not nearly as well-known as people like Alex Webb, Costa Manos, etc. This particular book is one of the finest I've seen, with foldout double truck pages and amazing reproduction. A must for anyone seriously interested in color street work or the social study of outdoor advertising and its influence on city life.
