22 April 2016: 10×10 Salon with Sohrab Hura and Tim Soter hosted by Lanie McNulty at her home in Manhattan.
Sohrab Hura is an Indian photographer, who originally trained as an economist. Gradually he turned to photography, shooting his immediate surroundings, family and close friends as he began to “[photograph] just for the love of making photographs.” Eventually, he made the leap to photography as his full-time occupation. In 2014, Sohrab became the second Indian photographer ever to be elected a nominee member of Magnum Photos — quite an artistic and personal journey in such a short period of time. Sohrab spoke about his self-published photobook Life is Elsewhere, the intimate and poetic journey of a son who puts together the conflicting pieces of his young life.
Tim Soter is known for his active search for interesting environments as well as his photographic sense of humor. He was raised in a log cabin, studied photography in Pennsylvania, and in 1994 moved to Brooklyn. He has photographed the President of Syria, spent the afternoon at Slash’s house, and once had nine seconds to shoot Daft Punk eating corn on the cob. Tim’s most recent photobook TIM! GO AWAY! explores his obsession with photographer and artist Duane Michals. The book is full of funny stories recounting how Tim successfully stalked his photography hero into a genuine friendship.
Lanie McNulty hosted the the event at her home in Manhattan. Thank you Lanie!
