My Developing Eye

£95

Collectors Limited Edition

A retrospective covering more than five decades of Paul Yule’s evolution as an image-maker. It combines a lively text of personal memories with visual storytelling from Yule’s childhood in apartheid-era South Africa through his career as a photojournalist, filmmaker, and sculptor. The title underscores the theme of ongoing experimentation and the book invites the viewer to witness the shift from technical proficiency to cultural observation and artistic exploration, with photography serving as both practice and therapy.

Rupert Martin writes: “Of its time and timeless. Wonderful story telling with humanity, acute observation and an unerring eye for composition. The photographs’ witty juxtaposition, mixing reportage with enigmatic insight and strangeness with familiarity, fuse poignant personal memories with a dynamic professional life. The portraits are a revelation, as are the early and late South African pictures. The book starts in B&W with it’s granular rigour, and ends in colour, like Tarkovsky’s Rublev – a book to treasure and revisit.”
