Description

“Looking for Love, 1996” looks back at the beginning of Alec Soth’s career, capturing a time of curiosity and the intuitive search for connection. Working with black-and-white film and a medium-format camera, Soth documented strangers in bars, dance halls, and social gatherings across the Upper Midwest. The series reflects the excitement of a young photographer discovering his talent while exploring the universal human desire for intimacy. These early images contain the seeds of the lyrical, on-the-road style that would later make Soth one of the most influential photographers of his generation.
