Wes Knoll - Fading Smile

Wes Knoll - Fading SmileWes Knoll is an artist born and based in New York City. He works in the mediums of photography and filmmaking. FADING SMILE documents what growing up in New York authentically looks like through a decade long survey of a community of kids whose lives and experiences are unavoidably interwoven, creating a universe where everybody seems to be one degree of separation from ruining someone else's life. Escape into a raw portrait of a world where everybody sells drugs, writes graffiti, cheats on one another and cheats the system. It's a portrait of mistakes and memory. The stories of the characters who define these images reflect the social fabric of the city and its true and rough, yet nurturing nature. 166 pages, paperback, perfecting binding.
