Scott Irvine Blurs the Edges
I’ve always had a strong place in my heart for photography with a darker experimental quality. Growing up, I was attracted to the work of Man Ray, and later Joel Peter Witkin and Matt Mahurin. I just discovered and adore the photographic work of Scott Irvine whose work seems to be in a similar tradition to the afore mentioned photographers. Inky black lines bleed throughout his frames blurring edges. The photos are riddled with texture and often glow like an old daguerreotype. As an image taker, Irvine snaps up shots of both people and places. He has collaborated on striking shoots with a long list of bands including: Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kasabien, and James Chance.
