Photographsis an overview of Nigel Grierson's work, spanning many years and many different projects. The book avoids the rigours of chronology or any other form of categorisation, in favour of a stream of consciousness that finds its own visual connections between the various disparate elements. For Grierson, the visual world has its own rhythms and language, more profound than the spoken word: 'I'm always primarily interested in the medium and how different the world looks when photographed.'
