Paul Joyce has been described as ‘the greatest photographer you’ve never heard of’. There’s more about him in this Telegraph article.

A selection of his portraits are currently on display at Proud Chelsea.

Our selection today is an interesting piece in the Guardian that discusses the real story behind a particular iconic photograph and how the photo has been co-opted to support narratives that are not always in line with the real story.

This highlights one of the most fascinating aspects of photography - the idea that a framed shot of a moment in time merely provides evidence of possible narratives - the viewer being free to construct their own narrative based on a combination of the evidence and their own assumptions and interpretations.

From the artist: “Boonville brings together images from six iconographic American towns of the same name in an effort to present a single, unifying view of America. Whether in New York, Indiana or California, each Boonville possesses archetypal American qualities.”
