The way in which he will layer a scene, his compositions bursting at the frame’s seams, and, above all, his mastery of light. Alex Webb – my new obsession.

“Three years after my first trip to Haiti, I realized there was another emotional note that had to be reckoned with: the intense, vibrant color of these worlds. Searing light and intense color seemed somehow embedded in the cultures that I had begun working in, so utterly different from the gray-brown reticence of my New England background. Since then, I have worked predominantly in color.”
