Stephen Shore














































Stephen Shore, a contemporary AAmerican photographer who has been working since the late 1960s, has been referred to as "one of the most important figures in early color photography". His work with the 8x10 view camera is profound. His compositions are frequently void of live subjects, yet unmistakably, they are visual commentaries of industrial repercussions. He is known for his deadpan takes on commonplace subjects, similar in scene to Walker Evans.
When asked in 2007 for his reactions to the digital revolution, and how it compares with the photography tools of earlier days, he reflected on the economical difference between a large format photograph, and the freedom of digital capture: "As one considers one's pictures less, one produces fewer truly considered pictures." Shore continues to work as an artist, and also serves as the Director of Photography at Bard College. He is represented by gallery 303.
