Affinities: Photographs by Timothy Hearsum

Timothy Hearsum sees the world around him from the perspective of a visual anthropologist as well as a photographer. His many travels along the back roads, side streets, and alleyways inform much of the visual language portrayed in this collection of photographs. Affinities is a multilayered exploration of the similarities as well as the contrasts he finds in his subjects. 

 

Published in 2019 by Timothy Hearsum (Photographer), Arthur Ollman (Foreword), Paul Cullum (Contributor), Katie Hearsum (Contributor), Devin Symons (Contributor).
