'In a world where everyone is a photographer now, how do you stand out? The answer can be found in this simple but profound book. It will train your eye to see what others don't.' - David Hieatt 'Photography of the sort Andrew Paynter does feels like it comes out of a sensitivity to the world - a deep social intelligence.' - Geoff McFetridge 'This alternative to trigger-happy phone photography guides us towards more considered practices.' - The Bookseller
