Stephen Shore (born 1947 in New York City) is an American photographer known for his deadpan images of banal scenes and objects in the United States, and for his pioneering use of color in art photography. Stephen Shore was interested in photography from an early age. Self-taught, he received a photographic darkroom kit at age six. He began to use a 35mm camera three years later and made his first color photographs. At ten he received a copy of Walker Evans's book, American Photographs, which influenced him greatly. His career began at the early age of fourteen, In 1972, for instance, the New York native embarked on a road trip that was to offer what he refers to as his “first view of America.” A decade’s worth of summer road trips followed, including the one that took Shore to Coronado Street. In 1974, Shore began photographing with an 8×10 view camera. He thinks in his photography how is the elements related to each other and the balance to his point that seems central to the picture .
