Hannah Modigh in Hotshoe Issue 213: To Be Young

What is your first memory?

When I was three, we were in Rajasthan driving up to a hotel that was located far up a mountain. Suddenly, there was a cobra in the middle of the road in an attack position. There was trash on the side of the road, so it had probably been there looking for rats. The car didn’t stop and when I looked out the rear window it was gone. It hadn’t been run over so I thought it had jumped up under the car and was holding on. When the
car stopped, I was so afraid to get out, I was thinking it would bite me. So, I took the biggest jump I could.

From 1988 to 1991, Dawoud Bey produced a series of portraits taken in black communities.

Using a large format camera and type 55 Polaroid film that created both an instant print and a reusable negative, he asked a cross section of people from within these communities to pose for him. Among his most striking images are those of young people, their faces and gestures revealing the quiet tension of youth. Poised between assertion and uncertainty, self-awareness and spontaneity.

In the chaos of the urban landscape, Bey carved out moments of stillness, where the city became not just a backdrop but a stage for personal expression.
