Nick Knight

Nick Knight is a British photographer who has worked with 8x10 cameras. While we didn't specifically cover this in Craft class, I figure that is the next step after 4x5. His first book was called Skinhead in 1982. He has since worked on other projects and is currently doing fashion photography and editorial work for magazines.





Stephen Shore

This week I decided to write about Stephen Shore since he was one of the pioneers of color photography in the 1960s and 70s. My favorite image from this group is the one with the mountain billboard. The blues and yellows work really well together and I like that it seems like the billboard could blend into the background and should be a real mountain. It's a nice play on scenery.
