Jack Radcliffe
Cover for Issue 228
Chicago
Issue 228 January 27, 2009

For the past 35 years, Jack Radcliffe has made portraits of his family, friends, and acquaintances. Early in his career, he discovered that the meaning of a single exposure, when part of a collection of moments, becomes only one element of an evolving story. Since the addition of each new portrait changes the meaning of the entire sequence, a single image cannot be static. In every succeeding photograph, both the subject and photographer are older, their circumstances have changed, and the relationship between one another has either deepened or dissolved. All of these forces are reflected in Radcliffe's photographs, and he is not a passive chronicler or documentary photographer. Whether the subject is his daughter, a local family, a former student, or a hospice patient, they are all in part a biography of the photographer.
