Books
Slavin is the author of several books:
- Portugal, published by Lustrum Press in 1971. A unique documentary on the Portuguese people. Neal Slavin has written: Few people outside of Portugal knew the power being wielded on the Iberian Peninsula during the early 1930’s to late 1960’s. This era marks the reign of Antonio de Oliveira Salazar. I lived and photographed the Portuguese people from late 1967 to 1968, when Salazar’s health took an unexpected turn for the worse, ending his dictatorship.
- When Two or More are Gathered Together, published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 1976.
- Britons, published by Andre Deutsch Ltd., London, and Aperture Books, New York in 1986. Britons, a set of photographs of people from Britain for a book and exhibition, which was commissioned by the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in England, was seen on exhibition at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York and at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in April, 1986.
Television and film
Since 1988, Slavin has undertaken film-making and commercials for television. In 1994, he ceased his commercial work to devote all his time to developing, directing and producing a film entitled Focus, based on Arthur Miller’s only novel, about prejudice and race in America in the early 1940s.[6][7][8]
