“Although RRB has already published a very important trilogy featuring the work of John Myers, we are fortunate that other photographs have come to light for the first time in this volume. We should consider ourselves even more fortunate that much of the sequence is made up of his outstanding portraits: this volume confirms Myers as one of Britain’s foremost post-war portraitists.” – Martin Parr
“Life As It Is” interweaves scenes of everyday English life with sudden, disconcerting flashes of reality that “don’t fit the way the world should be”, all with the brilliant simplicity that characterises the British artist’s photography.
