Sam Harris was born in London. As a teenager he taught himself photography, turning his bedroom into a darkroom. During the 90’s Sam has photographed portraits and done illustrations for a range of British artists. He has also collaborated as a photographer for magazines such as The Sunday Times Magazine, The Telegraph Magazine and Dazed & Confused. Today, Sam Harris creates covers for artists’ books, directs and shoots films, leads workshops in Australia and of course continues to take photographs. The book I have chosen from this artist is called The middle of somewhere. The middle of somewhere is an A4 book portrait. The book is about 100 pages including a travelogue, the images are all in colour. The cover it’s an beautiful green with some and an yellow fun draw pattern , it creates texture it. It’s an hard, perfect binding cover. There also a long white tape which the title is written on. At first view it seems like a diary or an album photo which symbolise that the book is personal. While doing my research on the book I realized that the cover had a lot of meaning and sense since the photographer Sam Harris explains his pictures is like his family diary. The book revolves around his two daughters,  Uma and Yali growing up. After Sam Harris left his my photographic career behind in London in 2002, Sam Harris and his family passed several nomadic years before settling down in Australia where his series began. His work is a celebration of childhood, family life, love and their simplistic lifestyle surrounding their environment. As he witness his daughters’ transformation he urge to preserve something of their time living together. We also sometimes find dates and a travelogue to follow their story. In his album we can see fights between sisters, arguments between parents, laughs… We also find daily objects like little notes from his children, everyday brushes, creams, to do lists which reinforces the idea of a diary. Sam Harris has exhibited over several countries like Spain, Greece, Argentina , Portugal and France. His photobook ‘The Middle of Somewhere’ won a Lucie Award in 2015.
