Summary: A fascinating book
Comment: Delahaye surreptitiously shot passengers on the Paris metro. His black and white full bleed shots reveal the interior blankness of everyday life distracted, preoccupied, faces staring inwardly, anxious, close-lipped that Baudrillard characterises as "absent from their lives, raised to the tragic impersonal figuration of their destiny". A mute drama.

Rating: 5
Summary: A radical concept, a very impressive book.
Comment: For two years, the author photographed passengers in the Paris metro with a hidden camera. The result is this simple collection of vertical, black and white portraits. Never before such a level of truth was reached in portrait photography.

Rating: 3
Summary: An interesting idea, but not necessarily for a book
Comment: Luc Delahaye is a Magnum photojournalist who has made some amazing reportages from the world's war zones over the last decade. L'Autre however, is not a book of these photographs. Between 1995 and 1997 Delahaye took photographs of passengers on the Paris Metro with a hidden camera. The close-up vertical portraits show people of all different ages and races staring off into space in typical subway fashion. The book closely resembles fellow Magnum photographer Gilles Peress' 1995 book The Silence in design, and besides this interesting design I do not think the book is too incredible. The photographs did not need to be put in a book.
