First Pictures is a collection of works by American photographer Joel Sternfeld (1944-). Known for his vibrant, humorous portrayals of American society, Sternfeld is a key figure in elevating the status of contemporary color photography with works such as American Prospects. This book brings together his early color works, taken from the early 1970s through the 1980s, revealing the early beginnings of his later perspective. His social and political implications hidden in everyday scenes like shopping malls and commuter scenes, along with his vibrant colors resonating with those of William Eggleston, are striking examples of the seeds of his later masterpieces. Through the free-spirited, experimental perspective unique to these early works, this book traces the origins and evolution of Sternfeld's photographic world.
