Alec Soth has spent his career photographing the peculiarities of life. Many of his most famous works stem from road trips where his motivation has been the meander through rural and suburban places and the capture of everyday life. He has photographed brides at Niagara Falls, hermits living off the grid in Arkansas, kids dancing at prom in Cleveland, and people he met on driveS following the course of the Mississippi River.  His works are stark and clear images that confront the medium of photography and consciously consider the ways it can tell stories, provoke reactions, and document contemporary realities. Soth has published over twenty-five books and has had over fifty solo exhibitions including survey shows organized by Jeu de Paume in Paris (2008), the Walker Art Center in Minnesota (2010) and Media Space in London (2015). Soth has been the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship (2013). In 2008, Soth created Little Brown Mushroom, a multi-media enterprise focused on visual storytelling. Soth is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Gallery in Minneapolis, Fraenkel Gallery in San Francisco, LOOCK Galerie in Berlin and is a member of Magnum Photos.
