Haunting portraits by one of New Zealand’s finest photographers.

A Man Holds a Fish, by Glen Busch is an extraordinary collection of images curated by the legendary Glenn Busch. This book features 79 remarkable images that highlight Busch’s status as one of New Zealand’s most significant photographers. Each photograph is almost other-worldly in its striking humanity and emotional depth, making this a volume you'll want to revisit time and time again.

Busch first gained prominence with his 1984 release, Working Men. As noted by art writer Peter Ireland, “In the early 1970s, the social documentary tradition was the leading approach, and Busch’s work remains foundational. Even after fifty years, his portraits retain a vividness and force, resisting any tendency to idealize.”

Elegantly designed by Seven, this large-format book not only introduces you to the work of a pivotal figure in Aotearoa New Zealand's photography scene but also celebrates his enduring influence in the art world.
