A comprehensive retrospective of Philip Jones Griffiths's work and life, this publication offers a vital reappraisal of his humanist, socially engaged photography.
Bringing together images from across his celebrated and lesser-known series, including his pioneering work focused on Vietnam, this volume offers fresh insight into his process, practice, and philosophy.
David Drake journeys through Jones Griffiths's Welsh childhood to capture the development of his political and photographic sensibilities, evident in key early images of antinuclear protests, 1960s Beatlemania, and the war for Algerian independence. Moving to his entirely self-initiated documentation of the Vietnam War--which was crucial in changing public opinion of the conflict in the US and beyond--carefully selected plates present Jones Griffiths's long-term commitment to shining a light on the realities of conflict and recovery.
This passion for truth-telling saw Jones Griffiths embark on assignments across the globe. Following him from Northern Ireland to Mongolia and the United States, this book captures not only Jones Griffiths's skill as a documentarian, but his commitment to the wider photographic community. As president of the renowned photo collective Magnum Photos, Jones Griffiths's devotion was deeply felt.
This is an essential photobook for all who value documentary photography created with principles, passion, and integrity.
