Alex Webb
亚历克斯·韦伯（Alex Webb）出生于1952年，从高中起便开始对摄影产生浓厚的兴趣。进入哈佛大学后，他一边主修历史与文学，一边在Carpenter视觉艺术中心学习摄影。1974年，韦伯从大学毕业，成为一名专业摄影记者，两年后，加入马格南图片社，获得准会员资格。1970年代中期，韦伯一直在美国南部用黑白胶片拍摄小城镇的生活，但是这一期间的黑白作品并没有多少特色。直至1978年，当他开始尝试彩色胶片后，才挖掘出自己在彩色摄影上的惊人天赋，很快在摄影界崭露头角，一发不可收拾。在Alex Webb的摄影集《光之苦》中，汇集了他数十年职业生涯中，迄今为止最具标志性的摄影作品。

《光之苦》汇集了Alex Webb最具标志性的摄影作品，其中许多是在地球的遥远角落拍摄的，为他的画册带来了新的视角。韦伯被公认为是美国彩色街头摄影的先驱，自1970年代以来一直创作出以强烈的色彩和光线为特征的照片。他的作品层次丰富，结构复杂，涉及多种流派，包括街头摄影、新闻摄影和艺术摄影，但正如韦伯所说，“对我来说，一切都是摄影”。韦伯能够将姿势、色彩和对比鲜明的文化张力分解成单一、迷人的画面，从而产生令人回味的图像，传达出一种神秘、讽刺和幽默感。《光之苦》是韦伯的第一本综合摄影专著，着有他最主要的作品和以前未出版的照片，是这位现代摄影大师数十年的职业生涯中，迄今为止最彻底的考察。
