Bruce Connew — I Saw You

I Saw You is a quietly compelling collection of photographs drawn from everyday life—moments observed in passing, gestures unnoticed, and encounters unfolding in public space. With a photographer's attentive eye, Bruce Connew captures the subtle dramas, vulnerabilities, and curiosities that emerge when people believe themselves unobserved.

As Connew writes:

“I peered in on people’s lives, sneaked up on their susceptibilities as they busied themselves mostly in ordinary ways, minding their own business and perhaps a little of yours, when they could reasonably expect no one to be watching—private moments in a public space.”

Designed by Catherine Griffiths and Bruce Connew, I Saw You is a beautifully crafted artist publication that explores the act of looking, documenting, and reflecting on the shared experience of contemporary life.
