“I love the pictures and I really like the format- short pieces kind of riffing off” the pictures.”
Paul Cook, Centre for World Cinemas and Digital Cultures, School of Languages, Cultures and Societies University of Leeds
“Everything was wonderful… interesting…. clear…. insightful…. stimulating… beautiful… inspiring… educative. As a struggling artist / human being, I felt less alone reading Robert’s words.”
S.B. artist and film maker, Italy
“Rare among photographers of this stature, Robert Golden elegantly articulates the real and fundamental concerns that we face in deciding what to photograph, how to engage and what we’re using our skills for. Impressively, he stays grounded as he writes, helped by a near-faultless selection of photographs drawn from his long career.”
Michael Freeman,
one of the most widely published photographers worldwide
TRANSIENT LIGHT, FLEETING TIME
50 thoughts about photography
Is composed of:
• 50 essays of about 350 words each laid out across from
• a full page photograph
• and note about the picture itself.
The full-page images thoughtfully relate to the texts. They are not an attempt to illustrate the text but to ask questions about image-making .
There are portraits, landscapes, still-lives, and documentary images. The book is 112 pages, 218 mm x 218mm, bound to lay flat on opening.
Its natural audience are students of the medium including amateurs;
*it is appropriate for university level discussions and for advanced amateurs, and for those who appreciate the beauty of the medium.
It is entertaining and educative but not overly technical, appropriate for artists, writers and theatre practitioners of other media.

ABOUT AUTHOR
ABOUT AUTHOR
My life has been about making images on film (or now on digital media) and on video. I have thought, written about and taught the medium. I have worked at the highest professional levels of photojournalism, publishing and advertising. It seems that my teaching has changed the course of people’s lives. The book will be available from the 19th of January 2023 at all major online book sellers book stores and some independent shops.
“Transient Light, Fleeting Time is a beautiful and wise book full of hope. It is a timely reminder of the combined power of story and image. Robert Golden uniquely seizes the world, and then presents us with many paths through the dark forest.”
Jules Pretty, author of This Luminous Coast and Sea Sagas of the North, University of Essex
