Stephen Krasner Artist Bio & Statement
Steve Krasner, born in 1949, grew up in New Jersey. He began making photographs in his childhood. Arriving at MIT to study physics, he began studying with Minor White in the late 1960s and learning to look and see more. Graduating in 1970 with a degree in Art and Design, he continued what would become a nearly 50-year path of social activism, organizing, and work in the hospital, construction, and high-tech worlds of Boston. Those years informed his growing sense of photography’s potential. Steve returned to his old passion relatively recently and to making photography his major activity.
“In making photographs, I seek to reveal energy we barely notice every day: the interesting, the beautiful, the perplexing—some inner essence that just doesn’t register when we cruise along consumed by yesterday’s work disaster, what to make for dinner, or anything but what’s around us. I aim to present images that allow us to go beyond “what is it?” I hope to share those precious moments with you.
In these photographs, we do not really see the objects that were photographed. We see still images on a screen or piece of paper, an enormous difference from objects viewed interacting with their changing environments of weather, people, history, and the universe in general. Even in those instances when a photograph looks pretty much like what we could see while the sun shone, the clouds floated by, and the wind blew, the images offer a new object, new views, and new opportunities."
