Michael Northrup: Serious Humor

Serious Humor brings together photographs made by Michael Northrup between 1975 and 1995. The book presents 65 images that examine the intersection of observation and irony within daily American life. Northrup’s approach combines technical experimentation, including light painting and strobe work, with a consistent interest in the overlooked or ambiguous. The book concludes with a conversation between Northrup and Pete Voelker, offering an account of his methods and the persistence of humour as a photographic subject.
