Daniel Shea found that forests presented a revealing challenge: that of capturing the whole – the immersive totality of being in nature – when photography so relentlessly pulls us to the fragment. Over several years and across varied geographies, he made photographs with deliberately constrained methods – rendering dense woodlands with a telephoto lens, capturing cities only through the window of a moving car – as if to invert the old adage about not seeing the forest for the trees. These working constraints foregrounded what resists representation: ecological complexity, social entanglement, and the architectures that influence both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resulting book, \u003ci\u003eDistribution\u003c\/i\u003e, explores the tension between environments that overwhelm with density and patterns that slowly emerge through repetition, accumulation, and framing. It opens with a series of portraits of Jessica, a woman who represents the statistical median of a person living in the United States, before expanding outward to surfaces, buildings, trees, and eventually groups of people. It asks how we locate subjects and attendant problems in a world shaped by competing density and dispersion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Includes a short story by Catherine Lacey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55892122141046,"sku":"9781917651295","price":67.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_35333912_2878c075-4551-43e4-95bf-e74bc758725f.jpg?v=1752716148","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781917651295-distribution","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
