About the Book

Photographs in which the documentary becomes poetry-that is one of Michael Magers's trademarks. With his special eye for the unusual moment, the documentary photographer and journalist quickly gained international recognition. His pictures appear in prominent magazines and newspapers such as TIME, Vogue Italia, or Huck Magazine. Even outside of his commissioned work, which takes him all over the world, this exceptional photographer does not put down his camera. He explores everyday life around him, capturing a movement or constellation at crucial moments. These pictures not only celebrate the essence of everyday life, but also the magic of what is unique about it. Each of his grainy, black-and-white photographs that he has elicited (mainly from urban life in Japan) in the past decade, carries a secret within it, which can be discovered and admired in the first volume of pictures by this artist.

About the Author :

In cooperation with Roads & Kingdoms, he contributed to the photographs for a prize-winning series of travel books.

Review :
[Michael Magers's] brooding black-and-white photos remind one of classic films [though] they're not so much descriptive of anything happening in front of Magers's lens as much as they are a window into his personal thoughts. 'Independent Mysteries' is a very introspective collection of images exploring the artist's inner world to which we've been invited to make connections if and where we can.--Kenneth Dickerman "Washington Post" [Michael Magers's] latest book, 'Independent Mysteries, ' sees him capturing "the opaque poetry of everyday life".-- "Huck" Independent Mysteries is a virtuous example of how a photographer can look at his own body of work from a different point of view, allowing himself to be surprised by the infinite possibilities that photography holds.--Di Rica Cerbarano "Vogue Italia" Independent Mysteries, [is] a photo book that features striking images of intimate settings and city streets with the same complex and nuanced lens the photographer has mastered in his journalistic endeavors. Each image conveys a moment--whether seemingly emotional or innocuous--with gravitas and tenderness. There truly is a mystery to each image that's remarkably engaging.-- "Cool Hunting" Magers' images have a stillness to them, and a sense of melancholy that permeates shots of the street, the landscape, and people.--Marigold Warner "British Journal of Photography" Magers's work is not meant to be about any particular set of events. Rather, it is a collection of work culled from his archives of fleeting connections and unusual events.--Kenneth Dickerman "Washington Post" Shot across multiple locations, Magers' latest book is made up of poetic enigmas: images that linger beyond their first viewing, inviting us to look again.--Scott W Olsen "Lensculture" The provocative new book 'Independent Mysteries' explores the sense of 'intimate distance.'-- "Yahoo News" These stories Magers tells through each image fill readers with questions that cause further curiosity even with the inclusion of short writings and poetry. In-turn it seems that Magers accomplishes just what he wants, and allows for the notion that these are individual, uncompleted stories, devoid of answers.--Daneal Rozman "Musee" With his camera Magers explores the poetry in small moments on the street and corners you wouldn't take a second look at - both completely universal and overtly personal at the same time. He seems to seek the quiet in the noise, or at least find magic there.--Samantha Reinders "PDN"
