Last week I spent some time in London where I was attending the Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards at the Natural History Museum. The event is a real celebration of the diversity of the world and I was honoured to be sitting with Frans Lanting, one of the most celebrated and talented photographers of our age, as well as Brent Stirton, a workaholic environmental reportage photographer. The discussion flitted around the subject of the importance of photography for the world and I couldn’t help but feel that the work of the landscape photographer pales in comparison with the influence of our own genre. However, the following the day we visited the Science Museum and saw an exhibition of Julia Margaret Cameron’s work but also a retrospective of Alec Soth’s work - a dissection of his project based books. I came away as individually energised and informed from all of these experiences but it was Alec Soth’s work that engaged with me most. Not for the amazing photographs but for the way he portrayed a sense of place and people with his collection of stories and moments. Yes there were some great pictures (including a disturbing but stunning 60x40” naked nazi in a desert oasis) but it was the sense of a man absorbed in the minutiae of life and saying ‘come look what I found’. I think this a great aspect of a photographer’s role - a way of showing their world as a collection of experiences and moments and it made it clear that there is a place for every photographer to tell a personal story with their art, whether earth changing, deeply personal or anywhere in between.
