For this issue, we've ventured a little further afield to focus on the relatively unexplored photographic space of the film set, and peek behind-the-scenes of some of the biggest films (and photobooks) of recent times, with the photographers hired (or not) to document that space. Working to someone else's brief can ignite creativity through its restriction. The natural boundaries placed on photographers shooting on film sets can sometimes facilitate an unexplored direction for a photographer's own work and a plethora of new ideas. And the collaboration or lack of collaboration between a director and a photographer can either hinder or help that process. What the photographer chooses to focus on and whether that focus is in line with the director's vision or opposed in style and tone to the filmmaker will also determine its outcome. We publish work and words from many of the top photographers and directors and films of recent times to explore the transitional space between one's own work and art, and the work commissioned by someone else. All with unique perspectives on how to work within the scope of another artist's world.
