Joel Sternfeld - Profile

Joel Sternfeld's projects can perhaps be divided into two general groups: site-specific landscapes somehow connected to human presence (though people are rarely present in them) and shot during distinct periods of time, and a more ranging, long-term examination of the United States accomplished largely by photographing Americans contextualized by their environments. Canyon County, California and A Man on the banks of the Mississippi, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, August 1985 both belong to the latter group and, characteristic of Sternfeld's portraits, were shot out of doors at a formal distance that does not crop any part of the subject's body. The large format 8-by-10 view camera Sternfeld employs may be part of the reason for that formality, but the camera's more obvious function is to capture and render the rich textures and telling details that draw Sternfeld to a particular scene. Sternfeld's sense of irony comes through in the way these subjects are dressed as if to color-coordinate with their surroundings, while the darkness of his humor is suggested by their unsettling expressions.
