Crawdaddy Chases the Money Shot
Crawdaddy Chases the Money Shot
William C. Crawford is a co-developer of the throwback photography approach known as Forensic Foraging. This motif reveals the unseen or unnoticed through cool compelling images. He travels America shooting what no one else sees in quite the same way; then he offers it up to see what it looks like in a photograph. His newest photo book contains more than 200 of his unique images. Shooters of all abilities will gain valuable insights into an alternative way of foraging for their subjects and the effective presentation of their images. Many of these photos have never been exhibited publicly. Crawford has been described as a master of Southern funk. Indeed, his work often emulates the legendary color images shot by Bill Eggleston. He loves to go on the road, stopping often for a photographic walkabout. He is a devotee of "America By Car", the scintillating shooting technique popularized by Lee Friedlander and Stephen Shore. Do yourself a favor. Take a peek at some fragments of Americana that few shooters would dare to lift up, but which richly deserve to be seen in their unique context. Crawdaddy proves that the astute lensman can uncover the Money Shot most anywhere.
