:: CATEGORIES :: [Click image for a larger version.] Model American by Katy Grannan Katy Grannan’s striking portraits capture the desire of her subjects to offer themselves up to the camera lens. Each of her well-known series—“Poughkeepsie Journal,” “Dream America,” and “Morning Call”—began with a simple ad placed by Grannan in local newspapers: “Art Models. Artist/Photographer (female) seeks people for portraits. No experience necessary. Leave msg.” After an initial telephone conversation, Grannan travels to the caller’s home. Photographing her models in their own surroundings, she pays meticulous attention to the elements of their domestic settings: wood paneling, patterned wallpaper, and other mundane but often telling details. The subjects choose to remain clothed, to model nude, or to pause somewhere in between, working with Grannan to arrive at the pose. “Katy Grannan is one of the most original and compelling portraitists working today....The last time I was this uncomfortable and thrilled by a book of portraits was when I first opened Diane Arbus’s monograph thirty years ago.” —Richard Misrach Hardcover with jacket, 9.875" x 11.5" 112 pages, 70 four colour and duotone images Aperture ISBN-10: 1931788812 ISBN-13: 978-1931788816 Price: £20.00 Enter the appropriate quantity you wish to buy below, then click the 'Add To Cart' button to place this item in your shopping cart. * - Denotes a required field.
