“As the traditional support systems for producing photo documentary projects – such as canvassing editorial commissions – are in decline, a different method of working is now emerging. This often combines internet platforms, print sales and even self financing publications. Rather than being daunted by these shifts, within Magnum a loose group of photographers have started working together to explore the many platforms currently available.”
Martin Parr, “Taking back the Agenda”
Initiated by Alec Soth, Jim Goldberg and Susan Meiselas in 2011, Postcards from America evolved from the desire amongst a group of Magnum’s photographers to refocus creatively, by producing an independent project based on shared experience.
