Alec Soth was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1969. His photographic work traverses the landscapes and communities of contemporary America, often following the poetic structure of a road trip. Projects like Sleeping by the Mississippi, Niagara and Songbook depict solitude, yearning and the quiet poetry of everyday life. Soth’s use of large-format cameras and soft, muted tones lends his images a contemplative, literary quality. He is celebrated for balancing intimacy and distance — capturing moments that feel both personal and mythic.
