'To reach this level of skill, you have to be unsatisfied with the first thousand photographs you take.'
by Colin Westerbeck and Joel Meyerowitz is probably the best account of how we got from there to here. Where I come into the picture is to look at how Magnum photographers fit into that overall time frame and chronology of this tradition, which essentially starts after the second world war with Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the founding members of Magnum. He’s really the touchstone of Magnum’s embracing of street photography.
In terms of subject matter, I’ve found after combing through many photographer’s archives that they’re often working on similar themes. I thought it would give a bit of context to show where photographers have found common ground in the past and perhaps used different styles, approaches, and technical skills to bring a broader look at the same topics. It’s another way of broadening the book out to show the collective endeavor, rather than just individual portfolios.
But then we also have some really interesting work from Raymond Depardon, who’s a French photographer who came to Manhattan in the mid-’80s and had a very interesting experience, despite not being able to speak English. He used a very wide-angle lens and brought back some very interesting photographs. And certainly there’s Bruce Davidson’s work of the subway in the ‘80s.
