Alec Soth is an American photographer from Minnesota. He is well know for making "large scale" photographs as well as taking photos with strangers, but also forming a bond with them as the same time. In 2004, he also became the nominee for the Magnum Photos agency and finally became a full member in 2008. He is also known to self-print his photos out into books.
He usually takes photos normally, but rather plain. Most of the people he is photographing are standing straight up, and looking directly at the camera. Although they are plain pictures, they somehow draw you in by their unappealing ways and the chances that these are all strangers he has met is rather high.
