Shoot: Photography of the Moment @ New Museum- Featuring Work by Michael Schmelling
Edited by Ken Miller, and due for release in September 2009, SHOOT: Photography of the Moment presents the work of twenty-six photographers whose work focuses on capturing a moment rather than elaborate lighting setups or controlled, manufactured scenarios. Employing the most basic photographic tools—a single-lens reflex camera and natural light——they must rely on their instincts and their ability to interact with a situation to create a dynamic image. SHOOT documents the influence of an older generation of art photographers, such as the legendary Nan Goldin and Wolfgang Tillmans, and expands on a younger generation of photographers, including Tim Barber and J.H. Engström, and Glynnis McDaris (**AND MICHAEL SCHMELLING**), to show how this style has gained traction and influence. With a preface by Stephen Shore and introduction by Penny Martin, Shoot is a remarkable survey of the most innovative contemporary photographers working today.
Below is the flyer for SHOOT’s September 17 reception at the New Museum, hope to see you there!
