| Chris Buck: Presence: David Lynch |
I never heard of Chris Buck until I ran across this interview in which he discusses his latest project, a series of celebrity photographs called Presence. Apparently, Mr Buck is a genuine Hollywood celebrity photographer, which immediately puts him outside the range of my interest, either as a photographer or as a consumer of images.
What makes this particular project noteworthy is the absence of what it claims to present. The example above, from Buck's website, is a portrait of David Lynch. According to the interview, it was shot at Lynch's home and in all of the series photographs the subject is somewhere hidden from view.
