Elucidate/Vol. 1 is a collection of visceral images of photographer James T Murray's experiences in New York and other metropolitan cities over the past few years.
In this stunning book he says; "There was a concerted effort to look at things differently once I walked out of the studio. It's the process of finding pictures as opposed to making them. I was abstracting things using shallow fields of focus, playing with scale/size, by offering no basis for spatial comparison and ultimately by shooting impressions of things rather than the subject itself. "
It is this unique approach that gives Elucidate/Vol. 1 it's rare sense of excitement and soul.
