Following the vast critical acclaim of Stephen Shores experimental memoirModern Instances: The Craft of Photography, we are pleased to present this new and expanded edition, available in paperback. Perfect for both new readers and those wanting to learn more from Shores invaluable teaching, this edition includes several new essays not included in the hardcover, over forty new images, plus an extensive notes section in which Shore reflects on elements of the original text and expands on themes such as inspiration, gifts, tragedy, and vernacular photography.

Modern Instances: The Craft of Photographyis an impressionistic scrapbook that documents the rich and surprising touchstones that make up over half a century of ground-breaking work. With essays, photographs, stories, and excerpts that draw on Shores decades of teaching, this is an essential handbook for anyone interested in learning more about mastering ones craft and the distinct threads that come together to inform a creative voice. As much as offering meditation on the influences of a single artist,Modern Instancesproposes a new way of thinking about the world around us, in which even the smallest moment can become a source of boundless inspiration if only we pay attention.
