Document and Location member Aaron Schuman featured in The Guardian’s Top 15 Photobooks of 2019

Document and Location member Aaron Schuman’s photobook SLANT has been featured in a wide range of Best Photobooks of 2019, including The Guardian, Photobook Store and Internazionale.

Published by MACK Books, SLANT sees Schuman interweave a selection of “Police Reports” news clippings from local newspapers in Amerherst clippings published between 2014-2018, with quietly wry photographs he made within a thirty-mile radius of Amherst from 2016-18, in response to their unintentionally deadpan descriptions.

In his ‘Top 15 photography books of 2019’ for The Guardian, Sean O’Hagan writes ‘SLANT is a witty, deadpan meditation on small-town America that carries a darker undertow in the age of fake news, post-truth politics and alternative facts’, while Mark Power at Photobook Store described SLANT as a ‘glorious package of a book’.

You can learn more about SLANT, including selected images from the book over on Schuman’s project page here.

Congratulations Aaron!
