Dench said: “All of the photographers featured have shaped me in some way; sometimes professionally, more often, personally. I view each piece as a collaboration, a written account of our time together, a glimpse into the lives and practices of extraordinary photographers, all of course, with a healthy dose of Dench.”

Simon Skinner, Editor Hungry Eye said: “This inaugural book demonstrates the direction in which the Hungry Eye brand is evolving. Five years in and seeing the continuing growth of our quarterly Journal, way beyond our expectations, we are developing a series of books to compliment this initial collaboration with our longest serving contributor”.
