In connection with Alec Soth’s 2024 book Advice for Young Artists, Soth talks to photographer Matt Day in an interview on his Youtube channel. Soth describes the origins of the book, how he works to follow his instincts as a project develops, and his search for people who are still in the earliest stages of their passion for a creative pursuit. “Part of me wanted to find that teenage self of mine, when I was 16,” says Soth.
