Psychologically intimate and emotional relations between couples are the focus of Steve Giovinco’s exhibition and lecture at Smith College. Unlike other photographers, Steve not only takes the photographs—he’s in them with his wife. The subjects are unguarded moments taken from daily life, and since he doesn’t see what is being photographed, Steve relies on intuition and spontaneity. Influences are the films of Fassbinder and Ingmar Bergman and renaissance and Nineteenth Century painting.
Steve says: “I see what is in front of me, feel an emotional and visceral connection, and capture this in photographs. Documenting how people live their lives, my photographs trace the poetry and lyricism of daily life.”
