cinematic style
Glen Luchford is a young photographer who reinvigorated British commercial photography in the early 1990's in such magazines as i-D and The Face. His images for the 1997 campaign for the fashion house Prada received considerable acclaim. Luchford’s work to date has been mysterious and suggestive of stills from a film where the motivations of the central characters must be unravelled and completed by the viewer. He has recently exhibited with painter Jenny Saville in New York.
Glen Luchford is represented by art + commerce

When words can't be heard, language is translated to what is visual
"Joseph Grigely,
an artist and critical theorist
who became deaf as the result of a childhood
accident, is best known for exhibiting
compilations of scribbled notes written to him on
odd scraps of paper by friends and acquaintances
when he was unable to read their lips. Grigely's
"Conversations with the Hearing" usually take
place during noisy social gatherings-- at galleries,
restaurants, bars--where passing notes leaves behind
a visible residue of the ephemeral flow of cocktail-
party small talk."

Deborah Turbeville
'I destroy the image after I've made it,' said Turbeville. 'Obliterate it a little so you never have it completely there.' It's a quite un-American world, a view through the rear window, fascinated by the beaten, worn and forgotten.
