Summary

This book celebrates the extraordinary talent of Scotland’s most prestigious 20th-century photographer, Oscar Marzaroli, with a number of specially commissioned essays and a selection of previously unpublished photographs, as well as many of the iconic, much-loved pieces for which he is renowned. The first section highlights Marzaroli’s journey into photography at the age of 18 and features figure and landscape shots from Scotland and beyond and portraits of family and friends. The titular essay, “Waiting for the Magic,” written by the late James Grassie, who worked with Marzaroli on many of his documentary films, is accompanied by photographs of landscapes and seascapes and images that explore the human response to the natural environment. What follows are some of Marzaroli’s most familiar Glasgow shots, in addition to many images never before published. All are of extraordinary historical and social importance as they depict the city during a profound process of change. The last section demonstrates that the photographer’s portraits always had a purpose and a point, making apparent his empathy, his lack of intrusion, and his respect for people in their unique landscape, whether it be urban or country.
