Diamond Matters by Kadir van Lohuizen is a comprehensive and visually striking photographic reportage that documents the entire lifecycle of the diamond industry. The book traces the path of these precious stones from their origins in the mines of Africa—where many workers, including children, face difficult conditions—to their ultimate destination as symbols of luxury in the global fashion world. Featuring over 100 photographs in duotone and tritone, the work explores the socio-economic impacts of the diamond trade, highlighting both its immense wealth and the human cost associated with its extraction. The book is noted for its unique production, including a suede cover plate with an actual small diamond embedded into the front cover.
