Photography & Imaging alumnus Bruce Polin is featured in the New York Times Lens Blog this week, with a showcase of his 8x10 large format photographs of people in Prospect Park.
“I’m creating a personality or they’re constructing a personality, and it’s a collaboration,” he said. “We’re conversing. I detect a degree of self-awareness at times. They might adjust themselves slightly,” Mr. Polin said of his subjects. “Something is being created for the final image. It’s not that I’m trying to document something that I saw and I have to have that. The thing is built in layers over time.”
Polin's artwork was also featured in a recent exhibition at Ohio State University.
