Either Limits or Contradictions

by Nick Meyer, Daylight Books, £46.73, softback, 144 pages, ISBN 978-1942084341

THIS poetic approach to documentary photography from Nick Meyer may at first appear to be a series of snapshots taken during lazy days of youthful abandon, but look a little closer and something deeper begins to reveal itself. Through Meyer’s series of gentle images that take in the ebb and flow of life, we find a subtle meditation on themes such as selfdiscovery, life, love and death. Making your way through the book can at times feel almost intrusive, but a little more time in its company gradually instils a feeling of deep empathy as the universal themes of its content begin to take hold. ★★★★ ★
