Reviews

This beautifully printed book of both colour and black and white photographs, shows us what a great portrait artist Wood is... his pictures are about bonds and ties, about relations and affinities between people: at the market, at the nightclub, travelling on buses, waiting for the ferry, at work, at the football, or being cared for in the last stages of life. The focus is on people who are very much present, and presence is a good way of describing what his portraits possess, the sense of people being there...
