Research: Alec Soth

Alec Soth is an American photographer from Minneapolis. The three pictures in this post are all from his self-printed book 'Sleeping By The Mississippi', published in 2004, which consists of images he made using an 8x10 view camera whilst travelling around the Mississippi River. I am not sure I can quite explain what it is I like about Soth's photography. It is probably to do with the choice of subject matter and the composition. I also like the often very muted colours and detail that he captures. Pictures from Soth's website.
