PASSAGES—Robert Holmes
Fifty Years of Stories, Journeys & Images
For more than five decades, British photographer Robert Holmes has used his camera to make portraits of people and places that tell the story of who and what they are—in pictures worth the proverbial thousand words.
Now he’s telling his own story. Making his own portrait. In his own words. From his childhood in the post-war Britain of ration coupons and single-channel TV, to a life-changing trip to Paris
as a young teen; from the unlikely career leap from city planner to international photojournalist, Bob writes about his own life with a clarity, humor, and empathy that have made him one of the most celebrated photographers of his time.
Both memoir and monograph, Passages presents over 270 photos curated to convey the breadth of Holmes’ extraordinary talent and career. Vast landscapes, intimate vignettes, and spontaneous street scenes that only someone with his singular vision and intuition could see.
Passages includes tributes from fellow photographers and travel colleagues to their beloved comrade, mentor, and friend. A true celebration of the spirit of adventure, and the ability to see into the soul of a subject, Passages is a complete portrait of a man, his life, and career.
