  • Juxtapoz Magazine – Into the Fire: Matt Stuart’s Photographs of Slab City

    https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/photography/into-the-fire-matt-stuart-s-photographs-of-slab-city/
    Matt Stuart’s Into the Fire documents the daily lives of people who live in Slab City, an off-grid community based on a former military base in the Sonoran desert, just north of the Mexican border. It is home to travellers, dog lovers, thieves, military veterans, artists and inventors. Its population numbers thousands throughout the winter, in the summer, when temperatures can exceed 120°F (49°C) it dwindles into the low hundreds. True ‘Slabbers’ are the people who have managed to survive two summers. These are the people Matt befriended and photographed.

    I’m really only making the photos for me. It’s a record of where I was and what I tried to do with the camera at that moment. I send the film off, wait to get it back, and see if I nailed it or not. If I didn’t, I’m back out there again. If I did, I’m back out there again. I do this every day. It isn’t for anyone else. Why would I spend that much time on my own walking the streets for anyone else?! Gotta be joking… It is for me.  I would guess other photographers are the main audience for my work.

    Now we’re going all in with a look at manual focusing. Our guide is Matt Stuart, a London-based photographer who’s made his name with funny and quirky shots of humanity going about its business; shots that often materialize and then disappear so quickly that even the fastest autofocus system would fail to keep up. Since Stuart’s style often involves stepping right up to people, almost to the point of invading their personal space, we’ll also try to figure out how he manages to avoid confrontation

    It wasn’t until he was 22 years old, after a successful career as a street skateboarder in London, that Matt Stuart took up photography. He was inspired by the work of Robert Frank and Henri Cartier-Bresson. And Buster Keaton.

    There’s nothing more fascinating than looking at candid shots of the unassuming public. Those shots become even more interesting when a skilled street photographer finds the sweet spot timing of the perfect juxtaposition. Matt Stuart, is one of those photographers.

    This is one of my favorite photos and one that I get most compliments on. I shot it in Trafalgar Square. Unusually I didn’t take this photo on a Leica.  I was using a Canon film SLR. The Leica was in repair.

  • Street photographers fear for their art amid climate of suspicion – Times Online

    hand_585x385_305847a 1.jpg

    Matt Stuart photographs the unscripted drama of the London streets. Entirely spontaneous, his pictures are made possible by a combination of instinct, cunning and happy coincidence, revealing the beauty and significance of the everyday – what the rest of us see but don’t notice, moments that vanish faster than the blink of an eye.
    For his efforts, Stuart has picked up a little collection of pink stop-and-search slips, souvenirs of practising a century-old art form in a city increasingly paranoid and authoritarian. After 11 years, Stuart is something of an old hand. Using the street photographer’s traditional tool of choice – the discreet and near silent Leica camera – he knows how to make himself invisible, make an image and move on. He rarely runs into trouble; when he does, he knows his rights.
