Description
Diary of a Set Designer is a book of Polaroids that Happy Massee shot over a 25-year period, while travelling the world as a production designer. This photographic journal is a journey through time--a collection of images taken with the nowdefunct Polaroid camera, which at the time was as essential to the art of designing for film as was a measuring tape. The images of personalities, sets, locations, and encounters all tell a story related to Massee's work and travels and the people he met while on them. The images in this book, which was designed by Fabien Baron, are raw, unretouched, and candid and capture his art as well as his life.
About

His career has spanned theatre, film, commercials and fashion. He has worked with directors including Wes Anderson, David Lynch, Rob Marshall, and David Fincher. His film credits include Broken English, Welcome to the Rileys, Two Lovers and The Immigrant. In the world of fashion, he has worked with Mert and Marcus, Inez and Vinoodh, Peter Lindbergh, and Craig McDean.
