A book about being photographed, made of images of the photographer's partner, often naked and sometimes crying, and a letter that answers her question whether she ever felt used. It was never a superior male view of a beautiful young girl but a view of their life, calm but urgent, with no filters and no mercy: "It was us and that's the only thing that matters."

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
