Description

On Divorce: An illustrated guide to the challenges and joys of separation is the debut title in a new portrait photography series by The School of Life.

Photographer Harry Borden’s portraits of divorce offer a powerful and often unexplored emotional window into the hearts and private moments of this common modern journey.

The photographs and accompanying texts were captured and recorded over two years by the British photographer Harry Borden (himself divorced). This series of portraits aims to understand and normalize something a lot of us go through, with testimonies from the subjects themselves, and thoughts and observations that pull us toward compassion, identification, curiosity, self-reflection and empathy. 


The book also features an introduction by The School of Life.

Featured Reviews

Pictures accompany the words of people involved in divorce in some way. The reader gets to see how divorce, a common event in modern times, has had an impact on different people who get to talk about their lived experiences. I appreciated the focus on the every-day person and the raw emotion relayed within the text, as well as the pictures putting a picture to the voice. This is a good book for one’s own reflection.

Thank you to NetGalley and The School of Life for this Arc in exchange for an honest review.
