Robert Frank's The Americans compared to Walker Evans' work.

THIS VIDEO: In this video I explore how we as photographers are influenced by those who have produced great work before us. In particular I will focus on the influence that Walker Evans had on Robert Frank. Walker Evans’ book American Photographs was published in 1938 and documented American life in the late twenties. Tod Papageorge in his essay suggests that Frank’s genius was in his ability to transform the same subject matter that was present in Evan’s book - morphing a tribute to a country and a culture into an assault on the superficiality of the American dream.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
