A two-volume collection – words and images of the cinematographer Christopher Doyle.

Vol I  Why I Am Not A Painter

For Christopher Doyle, language is a way to review, refine, and reform.  Words come from the creative experience and the cinematic space. They are what the process of film-making suggests to him.

Vol II Of The Film

‘How can you free youreself of all that is going on around you on a set, to focus, to connect with the ‘rightness’ of a moment, of a look?’ - Christopher Doyle

一書兩冊，收錄電影攝影師杜可風的文字、意念和影像

冊一  《之所以我不是畫家》

文字於杜可風不單純是電影的文檔或記錄。他的文字關乎創作經驗、電影空間及其創作過程。書寫是杜可風審視、改良和重塑電影創作過程的手法。

藉逾百篇的隨筆，十八幅拼貼創作及五段藝術錄像，不難窺探其人其想。

冊二  《電影這回事》

怎樣從紛擾的拍攝現場將自己抽離，然後集中精神，「抓對」一個瞬間、一抺眼神？杜可風每天都在捕捉那稍縱即逝的一瞬。 

本書收錄六十多個在電影拍攝現場捕捉的圖像及三十篇文字。
