The Candid Frame: Conversations on Photography

When photographer Jamey Price first turned his lens toward motorsports, he wasn't simply chasing speed—he was chasing feeling. The roar of engines, the blur of motion, the choreography of pit crews and drivers—all of it became raw material for a visual language that balances technical precision with emotional intensity. His photographs don't just freeze high-performance machines; they capture the atmosphere, tension, and spectacle that define global racing culture. That pursuit culminates in his new book, Racing Unfiltered, a signed and numbered edition that brings readers closer to the visceral reality of professional racing. Created entirely with branded disposable cameras, the images possess a raw, unpredictable character—grainy, imperfect, and immediate—offering a distinctive look far removed from the polished precision of modern digital capture. Rather than presenting only carefully crafted highlight moments, the work embraces spontaneity and constraint, revealing the grit behind the glamour: the preparation, exhaustion, unpredictability, and human vulnerability embedded within elite competition. The result is an immersive and refreshingly unfiltered study of motion, risk, and ambition.

When photographer Danielle L. Goldstein and editor–writer Caroline Goldstein came together to create Transience, the result was a collaboration rooted in restraint, trust, and attentiveness. The book occupies the in-between—those fleeting, unresolved moments that resist easy interpretation. Danielle's photographs do not insist on meaning; instead, they invite the viewer into a space of quiet observation, where tenderness and uncertainty are allowed to coexist. Caroline Goldstein's editorial sequencing and text deepen that experience without attempting to fix it in place. Her words don't explain the images so much as they echo them, creating room for resonance rather than resolution. Together, image and text form a subtle meditation on impermanence—on how time moves through bodies, relationships, and places, leaving behind traces that are felt more than seen. Transience is a reminder that photography doesn't need to be declarative to be powerful; sometimes its greatest strength lies in suggestion, subtlety, and trust in the viewer. Resources: Danielle L.

When photographer Amani Willett turns his attention to American life, he does so with a quiet precision that reveals both its poetry and its contradictions. Working primarily in black and white, Amani's photographs explore themes of history, memory, race, and belonging—often focusing on overlooked spaces and moments that carry deep cultural resonance. His work invites viewers to slow down and consider how the past lingers in the present, shaping both personal and collective identity. That approach has defined a career rooted in long-term observation and thoughtful storytelling. Whether photographing landscapes marked by historical trauma or everyday scenes charged with social meaning, Amani resists easy narratives. Instead, he creates photographs that ask questions rather than offer answers—encouraging reflection on what it means to inhabit America now, and how photography can serve as a tool for inquiry, witness, and understanding.

His photographs examine how belief systems—political, religious, and cultural—shape the built environment and, in turn, influence how we move through the world. From monuments and government buildings to evangelical megachurches, David's work reveals how space is used to project authority, belonging, and conviction. That inquiry has evolved into a thoughtful body of work that blends visual rigor with deep research. Rather than offering simple critique, David approaches his subjects with curiosity and nuance, allowing viewers to grapple with the complex relationships between belief, identity, and place. His photographs invite us to slow down and consider how the environments we create reflect our values—and how quietly, yet powerfully, they shape our collective experience.
