When street photographer Steve Madden was pitched to me, I immediately fell in love with his work. Our team worked on the news of his book while I personally reviewed his new photo book, The Grind. Steve's images majorly appeal to me as my visual condition (known as keratoconus) sort of resembles what I see at certain moments.
Shot in London over a period of a few years, his images are insanely painterly. I was also shocked to know that Steve apparently mostly shoots JPEG images. And most importantly, I wasn't aware that Steve Madden would cause such a stir to become arguably the most controversial street photographer of 2024. . thephoblographer.com
