The photographer shares pages from personal notebooks he’s kept over 40 years.
Speaking with Nigel Shafran is a bit like playing a game of Whack-a-Mole, as the photographer frames and reconsiders and second-guesses things that he says almost as fast as he says them. “I don’t want to sound like I know anything,” he remarks at one point. It could be that Shafran doesn’t want to commit, or rather that he believes in the autonomy of the receiver of his output. As he puts it, “You don’t want anything to be closed about what it means. You want everyone to what it is for them.
That’s not to say that he’s acting as a recorder or documentarian, but that in seeing his pictures we are seeing the world through his eyes. As he notes, “Everything that goes in you, either consciously or unconsciously, maybe has some effect.” The press release puts forward that Shafran keeps his notebook diaries, in part, as preparatory studies for future work. Co-edited with Linda van Deursen, Workbooks presents a selection of pages from those diaries.
