Publisher Note
Dining Alone: In the Company of Solitude is a book that highlights the experience of being alone in public. Scherl uses restaurant interiors as a metaphor to explore the complexities of the subject of solitude. The subtle nuances of her lone diners visually define their experience. This long-term project spanning three decades, culminated during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"The cinema verite' approach accentuates the portraits so that the camera is used to unveil truths in a documentary style." -Laura Pressley
Nancy A. Scherl used cinematic lighting and staged her subjects asking them to act out how they feel or behave when they dine alone in public.
