ERICA MCDONALD PHOTOGRAPHY

If you are wondering where my new work is..

I've been shooting almost daily for many months now for what will be my first book. It is a bit of a stylistic departure for me, shot mostly in 35 mm. It's has been a wonderful journey so far; the images are of a working class neighborhood in Brooklyn, and I should have some photos here by the end of 2009. In the photo on the left I am holding a temporary dummy. (photo by John Edwin Mason, altered by me)

If you are an editor or publisher and are curious, please email me and I'll send you a lightbox of the work to date.

If you aren't familiar with Verve Photo, check it out. Geoffrey Hiller shows work from "A new breed of DocumentaryPhotographers" and he has chosen one of my images from Coney Island to feature. I am in very good company..the site is a fantastic way to learn about photographers whose work you know well, and to discover others that you had not yet heard about.

The Collector's Guide is an invite only, unique 180–page source book distributed to collectors, art dealers, gallery directors, photo editors, museum professionals, and independent curators. Published biennially, The Collector's Guide aims to further Humble's mission by bridging the gap between ambitious early-career photographers and often-unapproachable photography professionals and art institutions.

Ideally, the 163 photographers featured in this publication will move on to find their work in private collections, represented by reputable galleries and included in group exhibitions. The Collector's Guide will also serve as a resource for photo editors, helping to attract assignments to featured photographers.

The Collector's Guide is not a traditional consumer-based art photography book. Instead, this source book is a complimentary guide for collectors and photography industry professionals.
