American photographer Robert Carrithers arrived in Prague in the early 1990s as part of the wave of young foreigners drawn to the city after 1989. Before that, he had worked as a photographer in New York, where he was shaped by the downtown art scene of the late 1970s and ’80s. That experience carried over into his work in Prague, where he developed a direct, unpolished style focused on people and the environments they moved through.
I've long admired Carrithers' work. A couple of weeks ago, I met up with him over coffee and he kindly agreed to allow me to post some of his photos on this blog. Here below, I’ve pulled out 24 of his photographs that I think best capture the people — and the moment — of Prague in the 1990s. I'm very happy to be able to share them with you here.
