Thinking Beyond the Photograph presents a collection of mini-case studies based on a simple model that revealed itself almost accidentally, but that Bocheshas now turned into a way of thinking that guides much of his work. 1. What am I interested in photographing? 2. Who else would care? 3. Can my photographs help them? 4. Could they help me? 5. Could we collaborate – without compromising my work or standards? The five-question approach has led to partnerships with the City of Boston’s Main Streets and subsequently multiple public art installations and a solo show; with SPAT of Wellfleet and the oyster community, resulting in front-page coverage in two newspapers and an online gallery of images for sale; the Cambridge Community Center, which yielded a small exhibit at that storied center; Harbor Stage Theater Company, which led to the distribution and sale of fine art postcards of Boches’s behind the scenes photography. More importantly, however, the photographs have helped causes, organizations and communities that matter to Boches. Since sharing his approach with photographic communities and camera clubs, other photographers have reported back that it works for them now as well. Perhaps it could work for you, too.
