As if she needs any more attention! But I can’t help it. Jessica is really good, 20 years old and goes to Cooper Union. She’s blowing up. She has shown 12 times since 2004 all over North America, has a whole roster of print clients AND we happened to have gone to the same high school at the same time. She’s friends with Emily Grenader, a longtime friend of mine, Cooper Union student and future Friday photographer.

Anyway, Jessica is amazing. She shoots pretty mundane subjects, which is something I love, using a 6×9 medium format camera, meaning she gets great detail with a 2:3 ratio identical to 35mm. I totally have to get one of those.

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.
