Hotshoe #213 - To Be Young
In this issue we tap into nostalgia for youth with the theme To Be Young, which encompasses something different for each of us. For some, it will be childhood, for others their teenage years, but we all feel that intangible pull to the past, whether we had an innocent or a traumatic upbringing. The longing can be triggered by a song or a smell or a photograph. We have contributions from eighteen different photographers, as well as a special Crude Metaphors featuring the work of Jason Lazarus who juxtaposes images with answers to the question, ‘Who introduced you to the band NIRVANA?’ Don’t miss the book reviews in this issue, they are some of the best photobooks I’ve seen this year. Bryan Schutmaat’s Sons of the Living is a masterclass in bookmaking and Chris Donovan tells a very timely story of Saint John, New Brunswick in Canada where one billionaire family owns, well, almost everything. Lots of Lots by Jason Fulford is very clever and Pia-Paulina Guilmoth’s Flowers Drink the River, ethereal and poetic.
HOTSHOE has been in print since 1977. Renowned as a cutting edge photography magazine, it is well known in an industry that has changed dramatically since the 1970s. In 2002, HOTSHOE was reinvented as a showcase of photographic portfolios, with a multitude of voices and opinions that include some of the most influential names in photography today, writing in one of the few truly independent publications, and distributed throughout the world.
Each issue is beautifully produced and collectable, focusing on a movement, person or moment in the photographic canon, ranging from New York Street Photography to iconic British photographers from the ‘70s, and themes such as A West African Portrait and An Emotional Landscape that reflect the zeitgeist of our time. Portfolios regularly include influential artists such as Todd Hido, Samuel Fosso, Rinko Kawauchi, Trent Parke, Anna Fox, Sunil Gupta, P Guilmoth, Mimi Plumb and Martin Parr as well as previously unpublished images by the likes of Chris Killip and Joel Meyerowitz, appealing to a wide range of creatively minded individuals.
