I’m very excited to say that I have signed the contract for my first academic monograph!
The book considers text & context, exploring how audiences’ understanding of Hollywood (as both a site & an idea) is, & always has been, mediated through photography. Called Shooting Stars: Intimacy, identity & ideology in Hollywood photography, it explores the interaction of gender, race, sexuality, place & space in photographs of the US film industry & its stars. It is due for submission to Routledge as part of their ‘Advances in Film Studies’ series in January 2025.
Here's looking at you.
