Book review Week 3 - Mitch Epstein

I'm a massive fan of Mitch Epstein's work, I have been looking at a lot of his work lately. I wanted to showcase some of the images from the series 'Family Business' which is a collection of photographs, video clips, text and discussions, it focuses on Mitch's father's business's a once succesful furniture store and some properties he rents out, Mitch is showing the demise of what was once a successful Jewish immigrant dynasty. Mitch's work in this series is really truly inspiring, and it's a shame that you can't see the whole series on his website because the book is full of strong photographs.

I also got out 'work' from the library which comes with a dvd with the video footage from Family Business' which the video stills are made up of, Mitch goes around as a silent witness following his dad as he deals with tricky tennants.
