Chris Verene
Chris Verene is a photographer and film maker from the US.
His projects are intriguing intimate images of daily life of normal people. Reminding me somehow of Ward Long, but that might be because I recently looked into his work.
It’s OK
“Once a photographer has learned a few ‘tricks’, they are presented with a choice: keep chasing gimmicks or formulas, or look deeper. It’s OK to be lost. It’s OK not to know what you’re doing. It’s OK to fail. It’s absolutely fine to feel insecure about your work. In fact, all of these things are very cool because they state very loudly that a person is trying, striving, exploring and searching in a very personal sense…. call it what you will.”
