Stunning images. . . . Dunn's sense of adventure and photographer's unfailing eye for a human story have combined to create a deeply personal outlook on humanity in a way that examines our similarities, rather than differences, from a positive and life-affirming stance. * Explorers Journal * An epic photographic portrait of humanity featuring a diverse cast of characters. . . . Dunn's new book showcases his love of travel and his love of photography, and how he combines the two to such good effect. . . . Only Us is a love letter to Dunn's insatiable wanderlust and his wonder for his subjects. * Digital Camera World * Stuart Dunns' Only Us is an exceptional photographic celebration of humanity. . . . All human life, from all areas of the world, is laid bare here-an incubated baby in Sheffield. Ugandan night fishermen at work. Thai monks on laundry day. Tanzanian hunter-gatherers. Canadian rangers protecting polar bears. A Newcastle native outside a pub. . . . This outward-looking, inclusive global perspective on humanity permeates every image, each of which really is worth a thousand words. Each of them prompts questions, invites the viewer to consider the lives of the people depicted. They summon stories. While the accompanying copy contextualises the images, noting where they were taken and who's featured, with occasional fascinating personal anecdotes, Dunns' words leave space for personal contemplation. Some are close-up portraits, focussing on faces, with the subjects' eyes and expressions revealing emotional states we all recognise and relate to. Others take a step back and show people at home, at work, or in their natural landscapes, from Arctic tundra to Omani deserts. And all of them lay bare our shared human experiences, prompting empathy, and a stirring sense of interconnection. -- Joanne Owen * LoveReading *
