JOEL MEYEROWITZ

“Over the course of a 63-year-long career, Joel Meyerowitz has made hundreds of thousands of images. While he's still shooting today, much of his recent work has involved combing through his meticulously organised archive, looking for patterns and letting photography reveal his inclinations over time. Wild Flowers is a collection of images connected by the presence of floral-ness, a garden he subconsciously began cultivating in the early 1960s.”
