Initially a painter and filmmaker, Waddell brings questions about the very notion of realism to picture-making. He often references pictorial histories, such as early photography or classical painting, acknowledging that observation is informed by recognition and an unconscious awareness of existing images. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWorking with both analog and digital tools, Waddell's highly considered approach involves experimenting continuously with new processes and materials. The subtlety of his photography is amplified by a painterly sensibility that emphasizes qualities of light. Illumination becomes a reference to photographic perception as well as to human vision. Consistent across his work are close affinities between a print's subject matter and its material qualities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Waddell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3958296971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783958296978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.20h x 9.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Stephen Waddell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983141765375,"sku":"9783958296978","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4900c48-b03d-4b33-b419-1e387e05d33a.jpg?v=1683264908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stephen-waddell-stephen-waddell-9783958296978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
