Nigel Shafran
Steidl & Partners
Having established himself as one of the most respected fashion photographers in the UK during the 1990s, Nigel Shafran’s more recent work has been widely exhibited, including shows at The
Photographers’ Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Fig-1. Shafran’s work is characterised by the quiet observation of everyday life. His chosen subject matter is deliberately low-key and often domestic in nature: the washing up, his Dad’s office, charity shops, car boot sales. And yet, his work extracts from this something profound and consistently beautiful, the sense of a natural order in ordinary things, or, as Shafran says ‘an acceptance of how things are’.
Shafran’s monograph surveys his work, including series such as Ruthbook, Washing Up 2000, Dad’s Office and Ruth On The Phone. The book also includes his most recent domestic interiors as well as a selection of his favourite snapshots.
