His American Surfaces series, a travel diary made between 19 with photographs of "friends he met, meals he ate, toilets he sat on", was not published until 1999, then again in 2005. Shore has been the director of the photography department at Bard College since 1982. Commissioned by Italian brand Bottega Veneta, he photographed socialite Lydia Hearst, filmmaker Liz Goldwyn and model Will Chalker for the brand's spring/summer 2006 advertisements. Shore photographed fashion stories for Another Magazine, Elle, Daily Telegraph and many others. Photographers who have acknowledged his influence on their work include Nan Goldin, Andreas Gursky, Martin Parr, Joel Sternfeld and Thomas Struth. His book Uncommon Places (1982) was influential for new color photographers of his own and later generations. Īlong with others, especially William Eggleston, Shore is recognized as one of the leading photographers who established color photography as an art form. In 1974 a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) grant funded further work, followed in 1975 by a Guggenheim Fellowship. The change to a large format camera is believed to have happened because of a conversation with John Szarkowski. Viewing the streets and towns he passed through, he conceived the idea to photograph them in color, first using 35 mm hand-held camera and then a 4×5" view camera before finally settling on the 8×10 format. In 1972, he made the journey from Manhattan to Amarillo, Texas, that provoked his interest in color photography. Shore then embarked on a series of cross-country road trips, making "on the road" photographs of American and Canadian landscapes. In 1971, he was the first living photographer to be exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, with a show of black and white, sequential images. At sixteen, Shore met Andy Warhol and began to frequent Warhol's studio, the Factory, photographing Warhol and the creative people that surrounded him. Recognizing Shore's talent, Steichen bought three black and white photographs of New York City. His career began at fourteen, when he presented his photographs to Edward Steichen, then curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. At ten he received a copy of Walker Evans's book, American Photographs, which influenced him greatly. He began to use a 35 mm camera three years later and made his first color photographs. Self-taught, he received a Kodak Junior darkroom set for his sixth birthday from a forward-thinking uncle. He was interested in photography from an early age. Shore was born as sole son of Jewish parents who ran a handbag company. In 2010 he received an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Photographic Society. In 1976 he had a solo exhibition of color photographs at the Museum of Modern Art. He was selected to participate in the influential group exhibition " New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape", at the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House ( Rochester, New York), in 1975-1976. In 1971, he was the first living photographer to be exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where he had a solo show of black and white photographs. In 1975 Shore received a Guggenheim Fellowship. His books include Uncommon Places (1982) and American Surfaces (1999), photographs that he took on cross-country road trips in the 1970s. Stephen Shore (born October 8, 1947) is an American photographer known for his images of scenes and objects of the banal, and for his pioneering use of color in art photography.
