Sunday Read - The Hard Way: an interview with Nan Goldin
âAnd Iâll never photograph anyone I donât know. You have to know the person to really be able to photograph them. But I never show pictures of my friends if they donât want me to. My drawers are full of great photographs that I wonât show because the person asked me not to.â [via Sleek Magazine]
The reason I became a photographer
Taking names from an early age.
#104/200 - Erik Mowinckel
Weâre sharing 3 photos/day from this yearâs submission shortlist in the run up to the If You Leave Showcase launching November 24th in London and travelling to New York in January 2017, where 20 final images will be exhibited as chosen by this yearâs co-curators.
As always, the 20 finalists are chosen by 20 different co-curators, representing some of the finest platforms, publications and galleries and the showcase will be exhibited across selected venues throughout both cities. Alongside the showcase, we are opening a pop-up space/come café with some exciting talks and workshops.
BackFocus - Stephen Shore (b. 1947)
Self-taught photographer Stephen Shore is being noted as one of the first photographers to use colour as an art form and not for advertising purposes, by documenting Americaâs various dusty backroads and through his accounts with diverse characters.
It was at the age of 14, after a bald move to call MoMaâs photography curator Edward Steichen to show his work, that Shore started to emerge upon New Yorkâs art scene. His main focus then became Andy Warholâs Factory, and its elite members such as Lou Reed and Edie Sedgwick and of course Warhol himself. By capturing them in their daily environment, Shore shone a light on these then almost mythological personasâŠ
âHe was very open and unaffected. He would say things he wouldnât have said in a more public situation.â -Â Shore on Warhol
Rod LaRod, Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey, 1965.
His vast collection of work and connections lead him to become the second living photographer to have a one man show at the MET, at just 24 years old. Shortly after that Shore started to work in color, revolutionising the then monochrome field of street and scene photography. He travelled across the country, capturing every single aspect he encountered, from the meals he ate to the hostels he visited.Â
Back then the only way to get films processed was to send them to the Kodak factory, which came back with small printed snapshots.Â
This is why Shore decided to revisit and re-shoot some of his earlier work with a larger camera, to then have a bigger film surface and crisper results. By doing so - and by shifting from passenger to the driverâs perspective - he discovered a new way of shooting, resulting in series such as American Surfaces and Uncommon Places.

In the past ten years or so, Shore had tilted his work to a digital platform - even starting his own Instagram account - which gives a new dimension to his work while keeping his inimitable perspective.
