How does a photographic project or series evolve? How important are
"style" and "genre"? What comes first-the photographs or a concept?
PhotoWork is a collection of interviews by forty photographers
about their approach to making photographs and, more importantly, a
sustained body of work. Curator and lecturer Sasha Wolf was
inspired to seek out and assemble responses to these questions
after hearing from countless young photographers about how they
often feel adrift in their own practice, wondering if they are
doing it the "right" way. The responses, from both established and
newly emerging photographers, reveal there is no single path. Their
advice is wildly divergent, generous, and delightful: Justine
Kurland discusses the importance of allowing a narrative to
unravel; Doug DuBois reflects on the process of growing into one's
own work; Dawoud Bey evokes musicians such as Miles Davis as his
inspiration for never wanting to become "my own oldies show." The
book is structured through a Proust-like questionnaire, in which
individuals are each asked the same set of questions, creating a
typology of responses that allows for an intriguing compare and
contrast.
