In <i>Resilient</i>, Wayne Simpson's first book of photography, readers will encounter a collection of portraits accompanied by individual stories of inspiration, tragedy, and humanitarianism. The book's overall narrative is an emotional journey in which readers will inevitably see aspects of themselves in the stories of some truly remarkable individuals.</p> <p>With compassion and respect, Wayne Simpson has befriended individuals and discovered personal stories such as an 89-year-old homeless man's struggle to survive, an 18-year search for a lost brother, a man's 40-year devotion to building a ten thousand square foot nuclear fallout shelter, and many more. Intertwined with each story is the subnarrative of the photographer learning who he is as each connection is forged.</p> <p>Always compelling and at times haunting, Simpson's portraits keep storytelling at the forefront. The atmosphere and mood are often crafted with multiple studio lights on location. Many of Simpson's portraits are graced with intricate details, each adding additional layers of complexity to the portrait and in turn making each portrait a visual story on its own.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Resilient</i>: </b><p></p> <p/>"With this riveting, heart-wrenching collection of images, Wayne Simpson goes well beyond the pixels. While the portraits alone showcase Simpson's masterful photographic abilities and leave us reeling in awe, the accompanying stories give the readers a window into what has transpired for these remarkable subjects. <i>Resilient</i> is not just a sensational display of cutting-edge, moving portrait photographs; it's a journey we undertake, through the lives and experiences of others, thanks to the courage, creativity and inquisitiveness of the artist." <p/><b>--Paul Zizka, author of <i>Aloft: Canadian Rockies Aerial Photography</i>, <i>The Canadian Rockies: Rediscovered</i>, <i>Grandeur of the Canadian Rockies</i> and several other bestselling photo collections</b><p></p> <p/>"Spending time with this book reminded me of the words of St. John: 'The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it'." <p/><b>--George Webber, author of <i>Borrowed Time: Calgary 1976-2019</i>; <i>Saskatchewan Book</i>; <i>Alberta Book</i>; <i>Prairie Gothic</i>; and <i>Last Call</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Wayne Simpson</b> is a professional photographer originating from Aamjiwnaang First Nation and from Lindsay, Ontario, who specializes in dramatic portraiture and landscape photography.
