HUTTERITES by
brought to you by

•

In 2004, David Vasilev was in South Dakota photographing the Lakota people when a Medicine Man sent him north to seek a reclusive, German-speaking religious sect called the Hutterites.

"The Bulgarian-born photographer found himself in a pocket of space where the spinning of time seems to have come to a halt. He spent a month photographing members of the Hutterite colony, focusing on the daily nuances of the youth. The resulting photographs beautifully capture them in moments of work and play, inviting us into a rarely-seen world encapsulating elements of humor, warmth, and youthful naiveté." -- i-D Magazine

Like Walker Evans, Diane Arbus, Dorothea Lange, Gordon Parks and Sally Mann, Vasilev's black and white photographs merge portraiture and photojournalism, taking seriously the lives of children. Vasilev's Hutterites stare back at the viewer with a wary curiosity that mirrors the viewer's own.

Happy birthday to Jacob Riis, born on this day in 1849. Riis is known for his images of tenements on the Lower East Side; his stark depictions of the way the "other half" lived spurred social change and investigation into pressing issues of overcrowding, ventilation, and more. Riis also pioneered the use of flash, allowing him to capture the neighborhood at night and interior shots, from back alleyways to squalid sleeping conditions.
