A deteriorated archive composes the Damaged Negatives Book by Glen Luchford.
Proving that there is beauty in destruction, the latest venture of this exemplary photographer is a testament to his genius as an artist. His professional trajectory has been littered with contributions to some of the biggest names in the fashion industry. Having worked with Yves Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein, his renowned body of work is a salute to the craft of capture.
The collection of damaged images has an air of vintage-like allure. Images featured are in various states of damage, as the archive of film from which they originated was left in a storage for two months during which a flood occurred. Surprisingly, the subjects and the result of this wreck were nostalgically enchanting.
