C type Print

Edition of 5
75 x 74 cm (image size) Paper Size: 103 x 100cm

"Manuel" by Derrick Santini is a captivating photograph from his acclaimed La Verna Calif series. Taken in 1989, this piece forms part of Santini's American Odyssey of the Deep South and Midwest, inspired by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the book "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men."

This striking image features Manuel, a dignified figure standing confidently in front of a vintage car. His attire—a sharp suit and hat—contrasts with the rural landscape, creating a powerful focal point. The vivid colours of his clothing and the car pop against the muted tones of the background, adding depth and dimension to the photograph.

Derrick’s work celebrates the essence of each subject, creating portraits that command attention and evoke a deep connection with the viewer. Santini’s approach to photography is a celebration of the individual, capturing the unique spirit and essence of his subjects.

Derrick Santini was born in Scarborough in 1965. He studied Photography at Harrogate College. He holds a BA Hons in Photography and Communication from the London College of Printing (now LCC). His portraits have been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery and he has exhibited in the UK and internationally.

Santini’s Self Made opened in Scarborough Museums and Galleries on the 18th of May and runs until September 1st.
