In Transit

In The Company of Strangers

Turner 2024

“These are the in-transit faces, postures, settings, that Jonathan Moller captures, in one place at a time, and somehow, all at once. This book is gorgeous and mesmerizing. There seems to be some kind of secret wisdom or insight hidden inside it. I really can’t get over this amazing collection of photographs, I can’t stop looking.”

– Francisco Goldman, Author of Pulitzer finalist Monkey Boy
