SAN DIEGO VIEWS PORTFOLIO
SAN DIEGO VIEWS portfolio is the first project produced by Photographs Incorporated. It brings together twelve exceptional photographers working in the region. Rather than attempting to define a particular local style or shared thematic concern, the diverse pursuits of the photographers’ pictures provide a spectrum to view and celebrate contemporary photographic practice in San Diego, California. Though each of the included twelve photographers’ approaches to the medium of photography varies, each of their individual pursuits are realized through the careful and astute rendering of the photographic object itself, conveying the specific meanings and inherent qualities of the printed picture. As a complete set of photographic imagery, the assembled portfolio proposes a contemplative view, one that converges through a lens which reflects inward while also projecting outward, relaying the perceptions of each artist through their own specific route to describing a particular subject.
San Diego Views was produced by Photographs Incorporated in the winter of 2020, in an edition of twenty. Housed in a custom foil stamped clamshell portfolio box measuring: 15 1/2 x 12 x 1 1/2 inches, and including: title page, colophon, brief introduction and 12 original prints on 14 x 11 inch sheets. Each photographer created their prints for this special edition portfolio. Individual prints are held within custom print enclosures, and each print is signed by the respective artist on its verso.
Including the work of: scott b. davis, John Brinton Hogan, Suda House, Adriene Hughes, Farrah Karapetian, Stephen Arthur Milner, Michael Mulno, Han Nguyen, Philipp Scholz Rittermann, Paul Turounet, Rebecca Webb and Joe Yorty.
