This book draws from the archive of photographer David Hurn to chronicle his career over a span of more than sixty-five years. The making of the book gave Hurn the opportunity to revisit and re-evaluate previously overlooked photographs with the benefits of time and experience, and to bring them to the fore. These lesser-seen photographs are published alongside some of his best-known work to demonstrate the longevity and breadth of his remarkable career. The book opens with one of the very first photographs he ever made in London in the mid-fifties, quickly followed by an image from the Hungarian Revolution—the reportage that helped to establish his reputation. Living in London during the long sixties Hurn became a visual narrator of the social revolution of those decades through changes in class and demographic; he later moved to Tintern in Wales, the land of his forefathers, after the impact of photographing the aftermath of the Aberfan disaster. The book ends with recent images made around his current home, and is accompanied by an essay by Isaac Blease.

ABOUT

The project

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.
