A great review of our book After the Coal Dust book appeared in the 2023 Special Edition of the German publication ‘LE MAGAZINE’ alongside an interview and a selection of photos. The original review is in German so here’s the English version courtesy of Google Translate.
I can only recommend the book to everyone. “After the Coal Dust” captures moments in time.
Every picture tells a story. Any photo is absolutely complete.
This is not an easy task for any photographer. The Gills’ unique book is not about despair, but about survival, a acceptance and emotional understanding. You take your time with each page and soak in the lights and shadows of the scene in front of you.
Perhaps as a photographer you wish you could have captured this picture. In fact, this is one of the best photo books to ever come out. An excellent production: the beautiful images have been carefully edited and thoughtfully selected.
