Stephen Shore

Shore is one of America's most important Photographers, he is celebrated for elevating colour photography from a medium associated with the generic family snapshot to making works equivalent to black and white photography. He is considered to be the most significant photographers of our time, he rose to prominence in the 1970s by capturing the mundane aspects of American culture in straightforward, unglamorous images.

I have chosen to look at Shore's work 'The Hudson Valley' which is the first of his blind spot series. I feel that the photographs that are included in this series are very influential for my project as it includes very beautiful mundane landscapes but with the interruption of the manmade world.
