Friday Photographer: Amy Stein

I’m straight up steal­ing a post from Con­sci­en­tious, but that’s ok, but that’s ok because Amy Stein is a great pho­tog­ra­pher who we can all learn some­thing from. From what she puts on her web­site, it would seem that her work adheres closely to the themes she sets forth, using a com­bi­na­tion of found and posed sub­jects. Some of these speak to me more than oth­ers since I belong to the school that says it’s more inter­est­ing to dis­cover inter­est­ing things out there in the world than to set them up your­self. Even so, her work is engag­ing and thought pro­vok­ing, par­tic­u­larly her “Women and Guns” series. And, bet­ter yet, she writes an inter­est­ing and insight­ful blog which is some­thing every­one can behing.
