I've bought a lot of photobooks this year, some released in 2018 others released many years ago but I still keep coming back to Lingering Ghosts. It's very compelling when a person's identity is presented but the visual cues are subtracted.
There's many photographer's creating work that has beautiful imagery but Ivin's work achieves the mission of oepening our eyes to the system our goverment imposes. I'm keeping this short for a reason, I want you to go to Lingering Ghosts and look at the work properly.
I will share another photo book soon with a longer review but I do not think there is anything I could add about Lingering Ghosts that has not already been written.
