SHOOT: Photography of the Moment

On September 26th, from 6-8 pm please join Glynnis McDaris and Glenn Horowitz Bookseller for a reception celebrating the release of Shoot: Photography of the Moment (Rizzoli, 2009, $45). This new book presents the work of twenty-six young photographers who work quickly an intuitively to capture a moment rather than using elaborate lighting setups or controlled, manufactured scenarios. Employing the most basic photographic tools—a single-lens reflex camera and natural light——they rely on their instincts and their ability to interact with a situation to create a dynamic image. This freewheeling approach reflects an era in which we are increasingly bombarded and saturated by images, and the emotional resonance of images has become an important part of our visual vocabulary. Shoot documents the influence of Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller and Wolfgang Tillmans on a younger generation of photographers, including Glynnis McDaris (http://glynnismcdaris.com), Tim Barber (http://tinyvices.com), Paul Schiek (http://tbwbooks.com) and others, 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.
