Henry Wessel | TateShots

A 'work without words', Incidents is a portfolio of 27 photographs depicting ordinary moments in the everyday lives of strangers.
From parking lots and highways to suburban houses and hotel lobbies, Henry Wessel's technically sophisticated photographs depict America's social landscape. Captured from his car, on the street, or in other public places, and taken with minimal interaction with the subject, these commonplace scenes are framed by Wessel as if they were isolated moments from a grander narrative.

I was in Hank's class at the SF Art Institute. He encouraged me in my view of the world through my lens. I owe him for the encouragement and respect he provided to me as a student and fellow artist. I'm sure these were his first years as a photography teacher and I'll miss him....R I P. Thanks to Hank, I still photograph the the world a Passive Observer.

I love how he avoids hard contrast and used warm toned paper.

I don't always like his work but I do greatly admire his approach and the work that he put into observing his world and finding the photographs. He once said that if something catches his eye, he trusts that instinct and takes a photo. I think that's great advice. I would have loved to study with him and learn from him. His low contrast approach is different. I don't always like that either but there is something to be learned from it for sure.
