Mike Brodie is well
known for photographing images for a book called “A Period of Juvenile
Prosperity” which will was published in 2013. When he first got into
photography he shot with a Polaroid camera but later explored an 1980’s camera
along with 35 mm film. Later in 2008, Brodie won the Baum Award for American
Emerging Artists.
Brodie was really one of those photographers who really
thought about his subjects and how he wanted to portray them. He has been
quoted several times saying that it doesn’t matter where he goes, the wrong way
on a train for instant, he will always get a interesting photo out of it. Since
then he has stopped taking photographs.
If I could “borrow” anything from Brodie, hands down it
would be his creativity. He loves to travel and capture images of every day life
routines of others, especially in this book. He is able to walk up anywhere and
make a great image, plus he taught himself everything! He had no background in
photograph until he picked up a Polaroid camera.
