EVAN MCGLINN (American b.1962 -)Photographer Evan McGlinn’s haunting images of New England stem from his deep love of the northeast. A freelance photojournalist for The New York Times and The Boston Globe, McGlinn roams the coasts, islands and backroads of New England with a 102 megapixel medium format camera to document, in intimate detail, a land that is a cornerstone of our nation’s history. “I am obsessed with decay and ghosts from the past,” says McGlinn, “and New England has plenty of it I have lived all over North America—from Manhattan and Florida to Toronto, Wisconsin and now Seattle—but the trees, rocks, woods and beaches of New England are dearest to me. They are part of my DNA.” McGlinn gathers what he calls “ingredients” for his images. “They could be a complete house, a simple piece of cloth from an old sailboat, or a pile of seashells,” says McGlinn. “My goal is to make the viewer dig deeply into my images by examining every little detail in the hopes that it will trigger an emotional response to the past. I like to push the boundaries of my photography by using various technological tools and other mediums such as watercolor inks and gouache, to free the image from the rigid confines of a photograph. I intentionally do not mount these photos behind glass. Instead, I coat each one with a matte, UV-protecting varnish, to make the end result mimic that of an egg tempera painting.” Evan McGlinn is an artist, writer, photojournalist and creative director whose work has appeared in Forbes, Rolling Stone, Departures, Town & Country, Men's Journal, The New York Times, The Boston Globe and other national publications. He is a contributing editor at Luxury magazine. He has also held marketing management positions at Ralph Lauren and Lands' End. Currently, Evan is focusing on fine art photography and he continues to photograph for both The New York Times and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Evan is a graduate of Suffield Academy and Bennington College and he currently lives in Seattle with his wife and two sons.
