>>3745655>comparing alec soth to alex webbWhat? That's just about as apple to oranges as you can get. Soth is all about setting scenes up and diving deep into his subjects to create a fictional story. Webb runs around snapping photos of subjects he mostly doesn't engage with and pulls a project together decades later by pairing photos with similar color themes.
>>3745822>>3745884>>3745899I think what you all are failing to realize is that Soth has been shooting this stuff since the 90s. This has been his 'schtick' for a long time. Other LF and filmfags have recently jumped on the bandwagon of this type of subject matter...partially due to Soth's influence.
One last question...have you all even looked at his projects other than Sleeping by the Mississippi? Pic related.
