Photographer Michael Yuan paints an intimate portrait of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, challenging accepted perspectives of the monument, which is most often observed in its mind-blowing entirety and completeness. This is the bridge in all its characteristic faces that have never been presented before, a study of its form, lines, shapes, and familiar colour. The book is a loving tribute to the imposing towers, stylised street lamps, gigantic cables, bolts, and plates, each with their own distinctive geometry and shape, colour, sound, and light. As the bridge’s chief engineer, Joseph B. Strauss, once wrote, “At last the mighty task is done; Resplendent in the western sun”.
