Description
An expansive dialogue about what it means to develop your artistic voice in collaboration with others.
In this series, Aperture works with the world’s top photographers to distill their creative approaches, teachings, and insights on photography—offering the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography.
In this book, Catherine Opie—best known for her sensitive portraits exploring identity and life on the margins of American society—invites five of her former star students to discuss a wide range of topics alongside her in a series of engrossing conversations about embracing difference, from finding a distinct artistic voice, to the ethics of the camera, to the practicalities of making a photobook. Through words and images, Opie and her former students Lucas Blalock, Janna Ireland, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Jeff Whetstone, and Carmen Winant offer the reader insight into their individual and collective creative processes as they highlight Opie’s enduring influence as a mentor and trailblazer in contemporary photography.
