Locations from a Movie I Never Made - Hardcover

Scenes from untold cinematic stories, culled from location scouting assignments and travel across five continents

American photographer and location scout David Graham has visualized ideas, locations, and style for more than two decades. Directors and photographers he has worked with include Patrick Demarchelier, Paul Greengrass, Steven Klein, Ang Lee, Peter Lindbergh, Michael Mann, Gus Van Sant, Todd Haynes, and Steven Spielberg to name a few.

A traveler at heart, Graham intuits the visual appeal of both local and foreign landscapes, enriching his vision along the way. Graham's project The Last Car, focusing on modern day gay life in Mexico City, and mentored by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, was published by Kehrer Verlag 2017.
