My home is my studio, says Andrew Sanderson. Great pictures are all around us. All we have to do is look. And the photographs in this book amply demonstrate his point. They should convince those photographers who fear that inspiration can only be found in distant and exotic locations and/or unusual subjects that, on the contrary, there is ample subject matter readily available if we only pause to take a fresh look at the place we are all most familiar with, our own home and its immediate surroundings. He argues, and his photographs illustrate the point, that the most mundane and humdrum subjects can, in the right hands, be transformed into images that are both striking and beautiful - that there can be no better way of recording the things that are dearest and closest to us, including friends and family, who are usually thought of as no more than snapshot material. The book is divided into ten chapters, each of which focuses on a subject or theme such as the kitchen, which the author describes as a visual feast in the making, favourite objects, the view from the window, the garden, or objets trouvees. In each case, Andrew Sanderson shows, by the use of examples from his own work, that we are surrounded in our everyday lives by the raw material for photographs that can, with the help of artistry and imagination, become true works of art. He has kept technical jargon to a minimum, allowing his pictures to make their own case because, as he says, explaining things is often much harder than simply demonstrating them.
