'The Guide' by John Myers published by RRB Photobooks The Guide, John Myers. Softcover | 248mm x 285.2mm |116 pages | ISBN 9781916057579 LONDON .-The Guide combines some of the best-loved photographs from John Myers career with his unique and wry prose on the method and theory of his work. The photographs in the book are some of most familiar images from The Portraits, Looking at the Overlooked and The End of Industry alongside five previously unpublished works. The images are published alongside insights to the circumstances behind the pictures, influences and Myers working practice, drawing the reader into conversation. A majority of the photographs in the book were taken within walking distance of Myers home in Stourbridge on his 5 x 4 Gandolfi plate camera between 1972 and 1988. He was driven by his admiration for the work of August Sander, Diane Arbus, Eugene Atget and Walker Evans and he only ever shot approximately 1800 negatives. The photographs are a study of the mundane and every day which is often seen, yet frequently dismissed.
