In this episode, Gregory Halpern talks to Jordan Weitzman about his development as a photographer and some of the thinking behind his work. His new book, ZZYZX, published by Mack Books this fall, is comprised of a mix of portraits, landscapes and still lives made in California over the past five years, poetically strung together to create a new mysterious world of Halpern's own. Like the best of work, his pictures not only speak of the subject matter itself, but also investigates the possibilities of the medium. His pictures are not only beautiful and seductive, but they also resist being reduced to any one simple reading, yet express Halpern's strong, original vision.
Including his new book ZZYZX, Halpern has published three other books of his own photographs, such as Harvard Works Because We Do (Quantock Lane Press) Omaha Sketchbook (J&L Books) and A (J&L Books). He also co-authored The Photographers's Playbook (Aperture) with Jason Fulford. Halpern is a Guggenheim Fellow and teaches photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
