Description

"The photographers in SHOOT embrace the mundane image, imbuing it with an emotional impact that leaves a lasting impression." "SHOOT follows this photographic movement from its origins 25 years ago to its explosion in popularity today, beginning with the groundbreaking personal documentary work of Stephen Shore and Nan Goldin, through the incorporation of snapshot photography into fine art and fashion, to the current generation, from whom personal documentation is away of life. The photographers in SHOOT rely on their instincts, their engagement, and their "eye" to transform fleeting moments into powerful, dynamic images." "SHOOT includes a foreword by legendary photographer Stephen Shore, in addition to critical essays by professor Penny Martin, with a historical overview of the genre and aesthetic by Ken Miller. These essays link the work of influential photographers such as Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller, and Hiromix to a current generation of image-makers, including JH Engstrom, Tim Barber, Linus Bill, Jaimie Warren, and Dash Snow." --Book Jacket.
