Seeing as (Deluxe Edition - Québec, Car): René Balcer

By Rene Balcer

Award-winning writer Ren Balcer is best known for his hit series Law & Order and Criminal Intent. Much less is known about his startling photographic work, shared only with his close friends and colleagues - until now

This offers 500 photographs showcasing Balcer's trademark crime scene aesthetic. The stunning images range from West Africa to the Utah desert, from a remote Arctic village to a seedy Brooklyn bar, with photos full of narrative mystery. There is a section on pre-Covid China, a China many say has since vanished. Also included is a unique homage to Balcer's adoptive city of Los Angeles, and a ground-breaking photo-essay on Buenos Aires' posh Recoleta neighborhood.

Marked by wry social commentary and breath-taking beauty and framed by insightful essays from noted Contemporary Art expert Robert Hobbs, renowned artist Xu Bing, and bestselling mystery writer Naomi Hirahara, these compelling never-before-seen photos are now presented in a glorious high-quality publication.
