About the book
Known for his unorthodox self-portraits, Lee Friedlander has given us another collection, but this time only in shadow. Sometimes Friedlander's shadow is presented as ominous, lending the impression of sneakiness, desire, or possession. Other times it's playful, draped over a cactus or a pile of rocks, turning the photographer into a cartoon character with exaggerated body parts. One thing is clear throughout the book: his shadow is treated as an honoured guest, and Friedlander takes full advantage of the company, tirelessly finding ways of adapting it to his own drama.
