Langdon Clay 

Clay moved to New York in 1971 and spent the next sixteen years photographing there, around the country and in Europe for various magazines and books. Rejecting the ”on-trend street photography” and the academic black-and- white scene, Langdon Clay focuses on his series Cars between 1974 and 1976.

Through chance encounters with colourful cars while wandering the streets of New York City and nearby Hoboken, the photographer created a time capsule of New York in the seventies.

In 1987, he moved to Mississippi where he has since lived and worked with his wife photographer Maude Schuyler Clay and their three children. His work is held in many private and public collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
