RISD and Photography

June 5 - October 26, 2008

Fielding worked with Siskind during his time at RISD, and for many years after they traveled together to make pictures. Siskind encouraged Fielding’s interest in photographing people on the street. More specifically, Siskind encouraged him to travel to Oaxaca, Mexico, where this photograph was made. Fielding shoots his images from close range and with unusual viewpoints and cropping. His work with his subject is much like a dance, and his subject becomes a partner in the image-making. Horenstein gravitated to Callahan during his student days at RISD. From him he learned to photograph what he loved. One of Horenstein’s loves was thoroughbred horse racing. His knowledge of the sport gave him access to a little-known world captured by him with grit and humor.
