Description

David Hurn: on Instagram is a comprehensive collection of photographs and reflections from one of Britain's most influential documentary photographers. Magnum's David Hurn has spent 60 years capturing ordinary people in their everyday lives, and his Instagram account has become a platform for sharing his expertise and insights. The book brings together seven years' worth of individual Instagram posts, featuring photographs from the Hungarian revolution, trips to Arizona, and reflections on his own work as well as that of fellow photographers. Hurn's writing is characterised by a desire for authenticity in photography, and he argues that our job is to communicate honestly and accurately what we saw, felt, and thought at a particular time. Printed in large format, the book showcases Hurn's photographs in exquisite quality, while also elevating his words. This considered collection offers a unique glimpse into the life and work of a photographer who has dedicated his career to capturing the world around him.
