Photographer Eric Pickersgill's REMOVED project has gone viral. Like thousands of others, I first saw his work online--and it haunted me.
The project dramatically altered his career, landed him on the stage of a TEDx talk, and has reignited the conversation about our relationships to our cell devices.
Amidst the whirlwind, Eric graciously sat down for a conversation on The PhotoTellers. Today you'll hear the story behind a Photographer with a large format camera who captures us without our portable devices.
"A common theme in my photography IS PHOTOGRAPHY." -Eric Pickersgill
What can you expect to hear?
- How did the identity of "Photographer" help him shed his teen anxiety?
- The scene in a restaurant, a detached Mom, and cell phones that spawned the project.
- How have the subjects in the photos reacted before and after the work?
- How does life change when one of your projects goes viral?
- How do you know it's time to hire an agent?
- Should you sell your fine art work through your own website, or a gallery?
- What has this craft of Photography given him?
