An extraordinary book on car photography, unveiling the car's unique place in our culture
Car photography frequently falls into predictable patterns. We see sleek, high-spec images on the front pages of glossy magazines or massive blow-ups on giant billboards, all with one purpose: to sell a lifestyle. However, our relationship with cars extends far beyond these superficial representations. Just as a camera has transformed the way we explore the world, so has the car. Road trips became a part of our journey, resulting in some of the most significant photographic documentaries of our time. A car is not just a means of transportation; it holds our hopes, desires, and dreams.
In Smoke and Mirrors, a remarkable compilation of renowned and emerging photographers come together to celebrate the car. From Nick Turpin's captivating images of donut skid marks, Todd Hido's painterly landscapes captured through wet windscreens, and William Green's intimate shots of sleeping Tokyo taxi drivers, these photographs showcase cars in their most playful, introspective, and meaningful aspects. They remind us that there is more to cars than mere metal and machinery; cars are deeply intertwined with the lives we lead.
This book serves as a testament to the car's enduring influence and its ability to evoke emotions. It invites us to look beyond the surface and appreciate the car's role in shaping our culture and experiences. Whether we are enthusiasts, photographers, or simply observers, Smoke and Mirrors offers a fresh perspective on the world's most iconic vehicles.
