William Eggleston - A quiet revolutionary

THIS VIDEO: Provides an overview of photographer, William Eggleston and his work. His photographs of the everyday are both familiar and oddly unreal. It was (and is) tough to understand his work, particularly because many of his images seem to show nothing of substantial importance in them. He leaves it up to us to do the work to figure out these mysterious moments and places. He calls this ‘photographing democratically’ - meaning that every element of his pictures carries equal importance. ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
