Happy Massee: Diary of a Set Designer

'Diary of a Set Designer' is a book of Polaroids that Happy Massee shot over a 25-year period, while traveling the world as a production designer.

This photographic journal is a journey through time—a collection of images taken with the now-defunct Polaroid camera, which at the time was as essential to the art of designing for film as was a measuring tape. The images of personalities, sets, locations, and encounters all tell a story related to Massee’s work and travels, and the people he met while on them.
