The Suffering of Light isthefirst comprehensive monograph charting the career of acclaimed American photographer Alex Webb. Gathering some of his most iconic images, many of which were taken in the far corners of the earth, this exquisite book brings a fresh perspective to his extensive catalog. Recognized as a pioneer of American color photography since the 1970s, Webb has consistently created photographs characterized by intense color and light. His work, with its richly layered and complex composition, touches on multiple genres, including street photography, photojournalism, and fine art, but as Webb claims, "to me it all is photography. You have to go out and explore the world with a camera." Webb's ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into single, beguiling frames results in evocative images that convey a sense of enigma, irony and humor. Featuring key works alongside previously unpublished photographs,The Suffering of Lightprovides the most thorough examination to date of this modern master's prolific, 30-year career.

FOR ME, EACH PROJECT AND BOOK seems to have its own unique journey. Each begins as a somewhat inexplicable obsession, and part of the challenge is discovering the individual nature of that particular obsession, including where it will lead me and how long the often-meandering trip will take. In the early' 80s, as my obsession with working in vibrant color on the street - in what I'd loosely call the tropics - deepened, I began to re-examine my photographs, working and reworking the sequences and juxtapositions, trying to make sense of what I was doing.

勇氣是創作的一部分。你不去那裡，你永遠拍不到那些東西。你不往深處去寫，你永遠只能得到那個層次的東西。在這之外，才談技術和技巧。非常公平。
