Shoot Em' Up

On Friday night Dazed & Confused joined forces with Rizzoli to celebrate the launch of Ken Miller's (curator, writer, and the editor of Revisionaries: A Decade of Art in Tokion) new book "SHOOT" at the Tate Modern on London's South Bank. Tracing the development of the "snapshot" photographic style of regular Dazed contributors such as Jason Nocito, Peter Sutherland and Michael Schmelling through early luminaries such as Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans and Walter Pfeiffer this new title revels in the spontaneity of a group of artists who have strayed from the elaborate studio set ups of old and embraced an instinctive less formal approach to photography. The foreword is written by Penny Martin (the Editor in Chief of The Gentlewoman magazine) and Stephen Shore, the first of whom was in attendance on Friday to mingle with other guests such as photographer's Eva Vermandel and Atlanta Rascher. The book is definitely worth checking out for any future 'shoot from the hip' superstars.

'Shoot: Photography of the Moment' by Ken Miller published by Rizzoli out now.
