‘The Lives of Others’ by James Carroll presents four decades of American street photography (Kehrer Publishing)
James Carroll passed away in early April 2024. This book, which he was able to oversee through completion, now serves as a homage to his life’s work. ‘The Lives of Others’ is a retrospective of one of America’s great street photographers, presenting many previously unpublished works from a career spanning more than four decades.
The photographs of James Carroll (1940–2024) comprise a collection of historical Americana. Driven by a need to preserve memories of his own experiences and those of others, as well as by what curator and author Sean Corcoran describes as "his yearning to see, to know, and to understand," Carroll explored the transience of human life and relationships.
The images take us from a documentary perspective into a more subjective realm, where the author, through serendipitous encounters, imagines new scenarios while simultaneously offering commentary on the American landscape.
“I think what we see and choose to photograph is more a reflection of our inner state. My work reflects the strivings of a certain kind of American photographer: a yearning for the road, a need for connection, and the search for home.” James Carroll.
