Photography and cinema make different claims on the viewer’s time. The medium of the photobook is related to both, but also introduces its own notion of a timeline. The filmmaker Adam Meeks, son of the photographer Raymond Meeks, grew up immersed in photobooks – not only the objects, but the process of their making. Now, father and son, both LTP faculty, talk about Raymond’s new book, The Inhabitants (Mack, 2023), and the related upcoming show, Immersion at ICP in New York, and about their time together in France as Raymond was making the work. They unpack a certain tension that arose between them during that time regarding their differing approaches, perspectives, and ways of working. They also talk about their teaching philosophies – what they gain from teaching, and what they hope to offer.
