Original Magazine's Live Lecture with Photographer Alec Soth

  • Original Magazine

The team at Original Magazine are so delighted to be sharing a sneak peak of our live lecture with photographer Alec Soth hosted by Editors Michael & Emily on the 24th May Alec Soth: From Here To There Described by The Guardian as “America’s most immaculate, intriguing photographer,” Alec Soth has spent two decades producing long-term photographic projects. In a distinctive lecturing style using physical books and prints, Soth will emphasize the creative process underlying their making. Mixing research and serendipity, Soth likens this process to ‘web surfing in the real world.’ Viewing this lecture as a creative act in and of itself, Soth will guide the audience on an unpredictable visual journey. Sneak Peak For those of you that attended our live lecture on Monday 24th May we are really grateful for your support and hope you went away that evening feeling like us, more motivated and inspired as ever. With predominantly a photography background amongst the team at Original Magazine we are huge fans of Alec Soth and his work has influenced the way we perceive photography. For those that missed out unfortunately, we have a sneak peak video from the lecture where Alec Soth discusses his thoughts and opinions on social media and the impact it has on us as creatives. Thanks once again to everyone who spent the time to come to this event and a massive shout out to Alec Soth for taking his time to come speak to us here at Original Magazine, we are eternally grateful and hope to hold another event like this, but next time a physical talk. Who is in? SO great to hear from a photography legend! I never thought I’d be able to attend a lecture by Alec Soth, so thank you for putting this on. It was the best virtual photography event I’ve attended - a really unique way of hearing from someone, and it was great to get my question answered, and to know I’m not alone with the nervous shakes and sweats when shooting - if it happens to Alec Soth then I’m okay with it happening to me! — Emily-Jayne Nolan The artist talk hosted by Original Magazine involving Alec Soth was incredible. As artists, we were able to witness Soth discuss his interests and practice as a whole whilst additionally having the chance to engage with him. The talk itself was truly unbelievable and some of the advice he gave has helped my thought development with my own practice. I’m very grateful for this opportunity as it was once in a lifetime. Thank you, Michael and Emily. — Chelsea Summers
