Read Rick Poynor’s latest Photo Critique – on the third edition of Redheaded Peckerwood

Rick Poynor’s Web-only Photo Critique ‘Cold-blooded runaways’ is now published on the Eye website. The article looks at the third edition of Christian Patterson’s award-winning photobook Redheaded Peckerwood as an ongoing project.

Patterson puts ‘The viewer in the position of investigator circling through the pages for intimations and clues,’ writes Poynor, and ‘expands the possibilities of the photobook as a medium.’
