ACID DROP  / Kenneth Cappello

NYのAperture Foundation (アパーチャー財団)から出版されているだけあり、どのページを開いてもとても綺麗なレイアウトに写真が印象的。

もともとApertureのWeb企画である、Tinyvicesというオンラインギャラリーで公開されていた写真を一冊にまとめています。

撮影をしている、Kenneth Cappello(ケネス・カッペロ)は、「Dazed & confuzed」や「NYLON」、「STUSSY」や「Supreme」の広告などの撮影、ミュージシャンのCD ジャケットやポートレイト撮影、「SNEEZE MAGAZINE」への参加等多方面で活躍する写真家。

彼が10代の頃に撮影したスケーター・キッズたちのフィルムを集めた内容。他のスケートのスナップ写真とは一線を画す内容、さすがです。

With this series, Aperture presents five of the most promising artists featured on tinyvices.com, the popular online gallery founded by independent curator and photographer Tim Barber. Presented in five separate volumes, and limited to 1,000 copies per edition, the series reflects the loose spirit of the website and offers a range of styles and approaches to photography-Kenneth Cappello’s casual snapshots of the skate scene of his youth, Allan Macintyre’s rigorous investigations of geological activity, Jason Nocito’s playful groupings of disparate images, Robin Schwartz’s disquieting portraits of her daughter and Jaimie Warren’s theatrical self-portraits. Each book is introduced by a prominent artist, writer or curator. Since its inception in 2005, tinyvices has become an influential platform for emerging talent, featuring the work of hundreds of photographers and artists, including Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow. Its corresponding exhibition opened in New York in 2006, and has since toured worldwide, from Proyectos Monclova in Mexico to Colette in Paris.
The work of Kenneth Cappello, born in Houston in 1973 has been featured in ID, Vanity Fair and Dazed & Confused, among others.
