For more than 10 years, Robert Bergman has traveled by car with two friends, for months at a time, throughout the Rust Belt (Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Gary) and the East Coast, taking color pictures of everyday people who moved him profoundly. "A Kind of Rapture" brings together the first selection from Bergman's epic enterprise. Having taken, developed, and printed his own pictures since the age of five, Bergman has now, for "A Kind of Rapture," created his own color separations, using high-resolution digital equipment, in an effort to exercise more control over the quality of reproduction than photographers have ever had. Bergman and his colleagues have helped define a new paradigm for art-book publishing - each and every image in this book is extraordinary for its fidelity to the artistic sensibility that informs its original print.
