Artist Feature #124
With Work From: Joel Sternfeld
SO is going to be at the ICP Photobook Fest May 8-10th, so if you’re in NYC come out and see us, I’d love to meet you in person! We’ll have some special fair exclusive goodies if you’re looking to buy some books, and Sam Gulliver and James Parker will be there doing signings on 5/9 from 12-7 p.m.
Since I know most of you aren’t in NYC though, I wanted to make one of our special offers for Photobook Fest available for everyone! Today through Sunday, if you buy 3 books you get a print of your choice of one of my images. If you buy 5 books you get the whole 3 print set. Just mention the print you want in the order notes at checkout.

The baby in the playpen near the dam is such an interesting image, especially with the baby looking at the camera. The elephant in the street though! I had to try and zoom in from my phone then came to the site on a laptop to I could look at it closer. I need the full story!!! Great feature!
Definitely a favorite project of mine and appreciate the addition of the out-takes.
Of the ones I’ve not seen before, I love the winter hillside and mobile home with weird angular building behind it. The latter feels surreal like something AI would generate today.
Joel is definitely one photographer I regret that I’ve never met.
Thanks 🙏
