Publisher's Description
“Sunburn was a conceptual experiment and adventure in connecting time and analog photographic tools. …I continuously study what directions and shapes of sun trajectories I can obtain in various times and spaces on the Earth. I expect a magical scene to appear, but it is not just vague waiting. I study meticulously. To obtain the traces of the rising and setting sun, you must personally travel to that time and space. It cannot be manipulated. And I just love that process.” — Chris McCaw

Chris McCaw works with a manually modified large format camera, loading vintage photo paper in place of film, and letting the sun come through the lens to physically burn the paper. This analog photographic method holds the unique documentary aspects of photography, as it captures the day and night of a distinct time and place. The passage of time is also recorded on the vintage paper, marked through varying levels of sunlight throughout the day. This book is a compilation of McCaw’s diverse work from the past 20 years, featuring the significant Sunburn series along with his Heliograph, Poly-Optic, Cirkut, and Tidal series, allowing us to experience the full scope of his variations flowing as one body centered around the sun.
