![]() ![]() ![]() I sat down with Aletti to talk about how he’s spent the last forty years studying, curating and reporting on culture. It’s all part of his interest in niche culture, photography and fashion. He is the only person to have penned, “ This is Not a Fashion Photo” a regular online column in W Magazine, where he choses pictures that look like they were made for a fashion publication but weren’t. He’s one of the few critics to build a career on photography criticism, and regularly reviews photo shows for The New Yorker in addition to writing a regular feature on photo books in Photograph Magazine. He was the first person to write about disco. Vince Aletti has been allotted more firsts (and almost firsts) in his life than the average person. This interview series is produced in partnership with MATTE Magazine, a publication produced by writer and curator Matthew Leifheit that focuses on the work of a single photographer per issue.
