Description
Gary Briechle: Photographs is a compelling monograph showcaseing Briechle’s intimate black-and-white images, primarily captured using the wet-plate collodion process—a 19th-century photographic technique known for its rich, textural qualities. His subjects, often family and friends from coastal Maine, are portrayed with a raw and poignant authenticity, delving into themes of birth, death, and the human condition. The book features 66 duotone plates across 96 pages, offering a profound glimpse into Briechle’s world.
Born in 1955 in Morristown, New Jersey, Gary Briechle began his photographic journey in 1996. In 2000, he relocated to Maine, where he immersed himself in capturing the essence of his surroundings and the people within them. His dedication to the craft and unique perspective earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography in 2015. Briechle’s work has been featured in several issues of The New York Times Magazine, highlighting his ability to convey deep emotional resonance through his images.
