Topic

Harvey Stein will share aspects of his photography career that spans over 50 years of consistent and impressive work in photography. He will show and discuss work from his newest book, Coney Island People 50 Years, and two previous books including Mexico Between Life and Death as well as a new book in the making. He will discuss how to maintain a creative drive and edge over such a long span of time. Mr. Stein is well known for his strong, close-up and involving street photography as well as his sensitive portraiture of people from around the world. For him, photography is a way to learn about life, living and self. “Mostly I do long-term projects that are of personal interest. I photograph situations, people and places I don’t know and need to learn about. Photography is the most meaningful thing I could ever do. It is my way of saying, ‘I am here’ and my way of sharing some of my life and understanding of the world with others”.
