Book Reviews:

"Julian Hibbard is more than a photographer... he also is a thinker
who observes the world 'exploring the boundaries between play, learning,
what is dark, what is light, what is real, what is not'... This is one of
those books difficult to classify. It satisfies the inquisitive mind on the
level of art, of social comment, and of storytelling."
- Grady Harp

"English photographer Julian Hibbard offers an adult take on the alphabet
book in "The Noir A-Z"... An element of risqué and danger consumes each
letter, tying the images into a loose narrative. The images are sexy. They
are also just complex enough to pull emotional strings through an easily read composition. In many of the images Hibbard manages to tie the reader to
the scene as active participant and not simply observer. That, in part, is the
art of "The Noir A-Z" and in full, the fun of the book."
