A collection of works by British photographer Nigel Shafran. "The Well" refers to the main visual of a magazine in fashion industry terms. For a highly influential author, the space was a place where unexpected creativity, destructive criticism and distorted opinions were circulated.
The relationship between the author and the commercial photography world began in the mid-1980s, when he was still adolescence, and then went on to the era of i-D and The Face, which are typical of the author's work, leading to a unique yet modest approach to fashion photography, which is also manifested in recent years, such as Vogue. Known for connecting and bringing series together with delicate and personal techniques, the author has only recently begun to realize that his constant interest in the commercial industry is a project. "The Well" is a place to criticize and consider the fashion world from within, and incorporates its trademark simplicity, and the power to bring peace to viewers in this inspiring and complex industry.
Edited and designed by Dutch-based graphic designer Linda van Deursen, this groundbreaking book records the artist's approach to both sides of commercials and what is not, and is interwoven with interviews as well as thoughts by the author himself and his colleagues.
