Back in 2021, the limited edition of The Art and Soul of Dune (Part One) contained an exclusive companion volume simply titled Dune, featuring candid behind-the-scenes photos from director of photography Greig Fraser, accompanied by Josh Brolin’s personal perspective and recollections of the movie’s production. It was a beautiful book, albeit unavailable to those unable or unwilling to spend nearly $600 on the limited-edition boxset.

Updated Edition
Fast-forward to the release of Dune: Part Two, and a revised version of that book, re-titled Dune: Exposures, is now available as a stand-alone volume from Insight Editions. This edition removes some of the Part One content in favor of adding brand-new photos from the second movie, together with their accompanying texts.

The book begins with a short introduction titled “The Eyes of Dune” by Brian Herbert about his father’s work, both as a writer and his earlier profession as a photographer for the San Francisco Examiner. It concludes with Josh Brolin and Greig Fraser writing about each other, and a short biography of Frank Herbert.

Photos and Poetry
In between are over 120 photographs taken by Greig Fraser, during the production of both parts of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, and around 40 pieces of accompanying text written by Josh Brolin. These range from seven-word pieces of poetry to 10-paragraph short stories, used to convey his experiences and feelings of acting in these movies.

The photos cover a wide variety of subject matter; actors goofing-off in between takes, piercing portraits, expressionistic images made from multiple exposures, details of hands or the environment. Images in color, black and white, sharp focus, fuzzy or grainy – depending on which camera Greig Frasers used, be it one from a flea market in Budapest or one found by Venice Beach.

Images and text are laid out with plenty of white space around them to allow you to focus on the content, although this does leave dozens of pages within the 172-page book completely blank.
