Stephen Shore is the subject of a feature in The New York Times, published August 23, 2025. The article examines Shore’s newly released collection Early Work, which gathers previously unseen photographs he made as a teenager in 1960s New York, and reflects on how these formative images foreshadow themes he would later pursue in his mature career. It contributes to conversations about the emergence of artistic vision in youth and the role of memory, place, and documentary sensibility in photographic practice.
