Alec Soth is another of those great American ‘on-the-road photographers’. In the footsteps of Walker Evans, Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld, he photographs roadside America.

He loved photographing the vernacular—people found along the road, in the streets of small towns, or in cafes. For fifty years, he captured roadside America…

Large format documentary and the all American road trip—that’s what Joel Sternfeld is all about for me.

A lot of his photos convert the world into some kind of fairy tale. It’s like you’re looking at a still of a historic movie—I don’t mind at all…

With production teams and budgets that rival those of movies, his work is controversial but incredibly fascinating...

It’s difficult to pick just one photograph that stand out because he has so many great ones. So I thought, let me pick a photograph of him that I really like and then find one of my photos with a similar vibe.
