"Stephen Shore’s Precocious Adolescent Eye"

Stephen Shore is the subject of a feature in The New Yorker, published September 9, 2025. The article traces Shore’s adolescent years behind the camera—beginning at age twelve—and examines how those early street photographs anticipate his later work’s concerns with place, attention, and the relation between subject and frame. It positions this youthful vision within broader conversations about precocity, the roots of artistic sensibility, and the narrative of photographic development.
