On the other end of the spectrum, you have the other image-maker; he or she who swears by control. And some among them go very far - Gregory Crewdson e.g. mobilises a small army of collaborators and realises his scenes like a film director.…

I’ve been thinking about the space between pictures of everyday life and the pictures that venture beyond. Scot Sothern and John Matkowsky think about these things too, Scot as a photographer/writer/provocateur and John as a publisher of books that rub up against the question of what’s okay to show the world, and what’s on the other side. In many people there is an appetite for things society officially disapproves of. Google…

Throughout the pages, the author takes us on an intimate journey through an enigmatic forest shrouded in mist, where each step resonates with the echoes of childhood fears.
