This is a buddy and X, and this is the Candid Frame.

Harvey Stein is a committed photographer. Not only has he practiced his personal

approach to street and documentary photography for decades, but he's also been very purposeful

about it. During his lengthy career, he's dedicated much of his time to returning to certain

locations over

and over again, whether it's Coney Island, Harlem, India, or Mexico.

Harvey has used his growing and evolving familiarity with the place to inform his photography.

His frequent use of an ultra-wide-angle lens is a purposeful one,

as it allows him to create an important relationship between the people and their community.

I like getting close and getting the context in which the people are located.

I like not just doing a face or maybe head and shoulders.

I like the environment. I want a context. I want to put them in a place and usually where I find them.

I might move them around a little bit. I might tell them often where to look. I might guide them a little bit. I might tell, I tell them often where to look. I might guide them

a little bit. And so my, again, my approach is to get close, not be candid. I like to go up to

people and interact with them, talk with them, and guide them a little bit, not boss them around.

And so I'm trying to, I'm unlike the Tyra. and guide them a little bit, not blast them around.

And so I'm trying to, I'm unlike the Towers in the sense that I try to control the street rather than letting it control me.

These long-term projects have resulted in numerous books.
