Reviews / Votes
"In "A Series of Glances", Andy now collects for the first time his best art photographs from several decades in a large, lavishly designed and decorated illustrated book." - The Eye of Photography "This extensive travelogue features many different styles of fine art photography - street, portraiture, landscapes, nudes and still life - but it is the street portraits that really stand out and, presumably, earned the book its title." - Black + White Photography magazine "The way Summers sees it, there's a great deal of similarity between his photographic and musical work. Both seek to evoke human emotion, both attempt to tell a story or introduce a person in an artistic fashion." - Ultimate Classic Rock "The Police guitarist combines his music and photography in a performance Friday at The Heights Theater." - NPR Houston "Andrew Dansby chats with the musician and photographer who plays the Heights Theater Friday about old movies, funky Houston hotels and guitar solos." - Houston Chronicle "Beyond the iconic riffs and hits lies another realm of Andy's genius - his aptitude as an art photographer." - WhyNow "Police guitarist Andy Summers unearths hypnotic photographs that evoke the poetic majesty of music." - Blind Magazine "A feted guitarist, known for his distinctive and inventive output for The Police and subsequently as a solo artist, Summers' photography is no less interesting and accomplished." - Digital Camera Magazine "Andy Summers has amassed an impressive body of work over the decades - including work that goes far outside of his work as a musician." - InsideHook "The Police guitarist Andy Summers on the passion for photography he developed while touring in the 1980s." Digital Photographer - Digital Photographer "His latest collection is A Series of Glances. It includes photos from his far-flung days on the road, through Morocco, China, Brazil and Bolivia. Most interesting of all, there's hardly any text from Andy Summers in A Series of Glances. Instead, the book's narrative comes via his lens." - Rock Cellar My Best Shot: "The Police guitarist has been taking photographs since 1979. Here he discusses the risks he took capturing 'one of the most impressive religious events on the planet'." - The Guardian "Andy Summers is best known as a guitarist for the English rock band The Police, popular in the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. But he has also been a passionate and award-winning photographer from the film days through the digital transition to today. Summers has published five books on his photography, the latest from teNeues is A Series of Glances, and has had his work shown at over 60 exhibitions worldwide." - PetaPixel "The new EP sees the 81-year-old British musician and photographer create new music to accompany the photographs featured in his 2023 book 'A Series Of Glances'. Each track on the disc constitutes an audiovisual snapshot and accompanies one of the photos." - RadioWiseMore details
