New Artist Monday!

I come across artists all time, and I thought that every Monday I would post an artist that I have recently discovered.

This week is Steve Schofield. He's a British photographer and his Land of the Free series is a set of photos that addresses the fascination that the British public has with American popular culture and the sub-cultural world of fandom. The fact that he uses the subject's home adds a voyeuristic quality in this found object environment.

With his goal of combining the two genres of portraiture and documentary this artist is has captured an odd world of conflict between these costumed subjects and there homes and the details (really look at the photo's environment) are an example of the artist's talent of successfully combining the two genres he is working towards.




Steve Schofield is my new favorite artist of the week. Thanks Geekologie for the introduction!
