Coffee Table Books

Roger Donaldson is famous for his movies, which include Sleeping Dogs, Smash Palace, Cadillac Man and The World's Fastest Indian. But before he became a director, he was already a talented photographer, and he has retained his interest in the field. This book contains a selection of his work from 1963 to the present in a beautiful book with high production values. There is a touring exhibition of his work currently making its way around New Zealand galleries and this book is a companion volume and an extension of that exhibition. The photographs come from New Zealand, Cuba, Los Angeles, New York and many others places. They include landscapes, political photographs, humorous shots and social commentary. Every photograph is a stunner. Roger has written brief notes about each image giving some background on where and why they were taken. There is a foreword by Hamish Keith.
