Shoot Your World
- Text by HUCK HQ
To celebrate Huck 46: The Documentary Photography Special II, our annual celebration of visual storytelling, we are dedicating the website to a season of photography – Shoot Your World – the personal stories behind the photographs, and photographers, we love.
During Shoot Your World, we will reach out to many of our favourite photographers, collaborators and co-conspirators to bring you exclusive stories that speak to some of the questions posed in the magazine – Is all photography fiction? How much of ourselves is in every single shot? What impact does photography have on us personally?
Through series like Photo That Shaped Me (where we ask photographers to talk about an image that’s changed their life), Answers On A Postcard (a visual q&a), Things That Inspire Me (artists’ influences), Collective Vision (new photography collectives), and My Sweet Shot (a personal photograph that embodies an entire perspective), we will explore the multifaceted ways in which photography grounds us and moves us.
Join us for the ride. We hope you enjoy.
