Photographer Eilon Paz has travelled the world to capture a total portrait of global record collecting culture in his Dust & Grooves project. 10 years on from the best-selling Vol. 1, Paz returns with new photobook Dust & Grooves Vol. 2: Further Adventures in Record Collecting .
From the music-listening bars of Japan to the Suffolk family home of the late John Peel, Paz’s photography in Dust & Grooves Vol. 2 tells a truly global story of collectors’ unwavering devotion to music. Revealing the human stories and social histories that make up our record collections. Vol. 2 also comes amid a worldwide vinyl resurgence for younger fans.
One of the most significant shifts in the vinyl community over the past decade has been the growing presence and influence of female collectors. Traditionally seen as a male-dominated sphere, the world of vinyl collecting has increasingly embraced the diverse voices of women who are making their mark on the culture.
