Zoo
Philip Joyce’s zoo pictures show abstracts, portraits, creative variations, environments (good and bad) and a genuine affection for animal life. However, this is a captive environment and the pictures invite personal reappraisal of attitudes towards zoos and their role in conservation and public entertainment.
As a small boy Philip loved trips to Bristol Zoo; rushing to see his personal ‘big 5’ of elephant, lion, (white) tiger, gorilla, giraffe, rhino and polar bear (accepting that counting was not a strong point for a small excited boy). Attitudes towards zoos will always be diverse; the debate over animal life with or without bars has no simple solution. Like most people Philip has questioned the validity of captivity and several pictures illustrate this. Nevertheless, this book is not intended to present a pro- or anti-zoo stance – it is here to celebrate animal life and leave you to decide where those lives should be lived.

The Lives of Older People
This fascinating and thought-provoking photography book portrays older people and moments in their lives. The B&W photographs show ordinary people, in ordinary situations, which are seen across the United Kingdom every day of the week.
People go shopping, catch buses, sit, talk, walk their dog and simply look at life around them. These images capture brief moments that reflect the hopes, uncertainties and often mundane nature of lives that perhaps, look back rather than forward.
A thoroughly rewarding visual portrayal of an often neglected sector of society. The pictures are keenly and imaginatively observed and invite the viewer to re-appraise their own attitudes towards the lives of others.
