Photographer Polly Samson has done a quite glorious job of documenting the studio process and then the tour for former Pink Floyd man David Gilmour’s fifth solo album Luck and Strange. Samson knows Gilmour well; she wrote lyrics for Floyd’s The Division Bell and The Endless River albums, as well as being a frequent collaborator on Gilmour’s solo work. So it could be argued that few people would be better placed to capture the entire Luck and Strange experience, start to finish. The beautifully packaged book has the feel of an intimate family album, offering rare insights into Gilmour’s working life.
