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

Today, my office at the Portland Tribune got a call from the Oregon State Police inquiring about the identity of a man I photographed at the Civil War game this past weekend. Fans rushed the field after the Ducks won, and a group set fire to an Oregon State Beavers shirt. I was moving through the crowd to get at the center of the pack and was surprised to see the small fire at the center. I started taking photos, as people cheered and lit cigarettes and cigars from the burning shirt. The unidentified man then picked up the shirt and flung it into the air as everyone else cheered.

London, Very Dry, With a Twist

London? Funny? If you are as practiced — and as patient — as Matt Stuart, the answer is yes. Christopher F. Schuetze explains.

via Lens Blog: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/london-very-dry-with-a-twist/

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.
