Night time has always captivated those who see the world differently. When everything has come to rest, lights go out, phones have gone silent and doors have been locked, the nocturnal quiet is embraced to transcend the beauty of the world to its own. This fascination with the way things appear at night is deeply embedded in Daniel Freeman's photography, and finds its way into Midnight on Main together with strong influences of American popular culture. Away from the frantic pace of large sleepless cities, Daniel Freeman explores the quieter side of the American night as a nocturnal flâneur, portraying the charm of small towns across the United States and of a lessershown America. Complemented by stars and moonlight, he follows what is still left of the American Dream and traces the special kind of American culture, that since its invention has not failed to amaze. Midnight on Main documents the silent grace and illuminated beauty amplified through the prolonged and peaceful interludes of calm that stretch between dusk and dawn. Urban landscape at its best.Daniel Freeman (1984) lives in Buckinghamshire, England and has specialized in night photography for over a decade. He was awarded a 'Fellowship' by the British Institute of Professional Photography, and 'Qualified European Photographer' by the Federation of European Professional Photographers for his nocturnal image capture. He currently lectures in Photography and holds night photography seminars and workshops on behalf of photographic institutes. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

The problem with the book isn't the quality of the photos or Freeman's eye for a composition. Its with the graphic design and the layout. Stark, sharp, amazingly lit night-time images full of grey, blue and sepia tones of night time laid out in huge expanses of glaring empty white space. The book looks like it was put together by some poorly design "best fit" automation for one of those publish it yourself photo memory book sites. The pages are all extra-wide landscape format to handle some of the widest photos. But many of the photos are square or even portrait layout. Rather than formatting around the most common dimensions and using a few gatefolds or running across 2 pages for the larger formats, the pages are well suited to a few of the photographs while the others are just dropped in, one to a page, lost and unable to fill the space. Which is sad because there is so much detail in the photos that could be appreciated with a larger, and yet less wasteful format.
The result is something that looks cheap and does not present the photographs well making them compete against expanses of empty space for your attention. ( )
