Alec Soth







Alec Soth is an American photographer born in 1969. He is a traveling photographer who has documented many people traveling around america. His work has been in multiple solo and group exhibitions. In Sleeping by the Mississippi, he traveled around Minnesota, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and shot with an 8x10 camera. He shot dead pan portraits and stale, lonely still lifes. His work has given me a lot of insight and reminds me a lot of what I'm going for. He's really good at capturing details and portraits of lifestyles.
