Episode 2.24 - Jennifer McClure & Amy Touchette - a podcast by Formhals & Starkweather

Recorded May 15, 2015 at Stockholm Studios in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Candid or staged? It’s one of those debates that often get photographers riled up. In the past, I would empathically state my preference for candid photography but as I’ve studied more over the years, I’ve come to appreciate a multitude of photographic approaches. This episode offers a photographer on both ends of the candid or staged spectrum.

I met Jennifer McClure while I was reviewing at PhotoNola a few years back. It turned out that we both live in the same neighborhood. I’ve yet to run into her while going to the grocery store but I have seen her at a few photo events over the years and have followed her progress online. It was great to see her win CENTER’s Editor’s Choice in 2013 after years of hard work. She continues to push forward with new projects and recently started photographing single people in New York City which may sound simple but as you’ll hear in the show, turns out to be quite challenging. The internet opens doors but often times when you walk through them you end someplace you never expected.
