Book Reviews of 25 Under 25: Up And Coming American Photographers, Vol 2
Book Review: The Young and The Talented
Summary: 5 Stars
This book presents a startlingly moving and visually captivating array of photo-essays by our country's newest group of professional photographers. The introduction by the renowned photographer Sylvia Plachy and editorial notes by Iris Tillman Hill give the collection and knowledge of the young people responsible for these amazing shots, due credit and contextual depth. The young adult artist's own words accompanying their work, especially their quotes about photography and early memories of their first camera are enlightening and revealing. It is so refreshing and inspiring to see accomplished young people given an opportunity to be highlighted for something other than the current obsession with rock and roll performing and movie stardom. Even if you aren't a photographer or planning to become one, this book belongs in your collection- it will be thrilling to see which of these names become household recognized and on the front page of our national magazines or housed in our best museums. I am certain many of them will be there.
Summary of 25 Under 25: Up And Coming American Photographers, Vol 2
A CDS Book25 Under 25: Up-and-Coming American Photographers, Volume 2 showcases 25 more of America?s most promising photographers, 25 years old and younger. Illuminating and sometimes startling, the collection presents work by an emerging generation of photographers at the start of their careers. The first book in the series, published in 2003 by powerHouse Books and CDS Books, was selected as a Best Book of 2003 by Photo District News.
This new volume of 25 Under 25 features photographs selected by renowned photographer Sylvia Plachy that explore the theme of ?transitions?: what it means to be in-between, in flux, at odds, in a new state of being?personally, locally, nationally, or internationally. The photographers, who must have been born on or after April 28, 1980, were drawn from a widely publicized, nationwide competition run by CDS. 25 Under 25 presents a wide array of photographs reflecting the world as seen through young but sophisticated eyes?the devastation from Hurricane Katrina; the battle-weary soldiers and civilian casualties of the Iraq War; explicit explorations of sexuality; urban and suburban landscapes. These images, whether of people or of what people leave behind, show us that the human imprint is everywhere, moving, altering, desiring, aspiring to permanence.
?What we search for is a secret, like the pearl in the ocean, not easily found or given up. We are curious, driven, sometimes outgoing, sometimes introverted; much of who we are is visible in our pictures,? Sylvia Plachy writes in her introduction. ?Too often, in the service of politics and commerce, photographs are inadequate or false. But here, we project ourselves into these images filled with insight and compassion and enter their collective memory as a continuation in the history of photography. All of these photographers, each in their own perceptive way, surprise us with their finds.?
