New York state of mind
In the trailer for his Masters of Photography series of online workshops, Joel Meyerowitz claims that ‘photography looks like pictures but it’s really ideas’. The 82-year-old New Yorker may be responsible for some of the most defining images in the history of street photography, yet he remains one of the medium’s most thoughtful practitioners. Pre-empting recent trends for mindfulness, Meyerowitz has spent almost 60 years using his camera as a means to connect with the world while remaining present and alive to possibility. In doing so, he has been able to define his own identity and establish a remarkable career to date.
