Famed photojournalist Steve Schapiro and his son Theophilus Donoghue have collaborated on seventy thirty, a photo project that is 70% Schapiro, 30% Donoghue. Seventy thirty depicts the various faces and expressions of humanity, from metropolitans to migrants, unseen homeless to conspicuous celebrities, such as Alec Guinness, Allen Ginsberg, Muhammad Ali, Robert De Niro, Rene Magritte, Janis Joplin, Andy Warhol, and the Velvet Underground. Schapiro photographs early New York skateboarders while Donoghue documents current Colombian breakdancers. Father and son both capture philosophically poignant moments that rouse reflection. Schapiro includes his classic photo "Man on Iceberg," which was the opening double-page spread of a Life story on existentialism. In a similar fashion, Donoghue contributes his contemplative "Hindsight Intersection," which was recently featured in ARTSY' s 20 21 Artists in Support of Human Rights Watch benefit auction. Shooting in monochrome with an occasional dash of colour, Schapiro and Donoghue portray the proud and lofty as well as the humble and humorous. Alternately profound and playful, Schapiro and Donoghue' s photographs capture a vast range of human emotion and experience. Like his father, Donoghue is equally concerned with social justice issues. For this project, Schapiro has selected images from the 60s civil rights movement and, with Donoghue, provided photos from today' s Black Lives Matter protests and environmental rallies. Apart from numerous stateside locations, their project includes images from India, Italy, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador. Together father and son provide a touching overview of humanity throughout the world from the 1950s to present day.
Theophilus Donoghue is a documentary photographer who was mentored by his late father, legendary photographer Steve Schapiro. Theophilus' s work is at once contemplative and light-hearted. Like his dad who documented the civil rights movement, Theophilus has a concern for social justice and has worked on projects in tandem with Schapiro about ending gun violence, abolishing the death penalty, and addressing poverty and inequality among other significant issues. In addition to focusing on meaningful topics, Donoghue also enjoys photographing unique individuals and diverse circumstances filled with humour, reverence, and sincerity. Having been raised in LA, NYC, and Chicago, Theophilus has a passion for cities and the poetic beauty they contain. He works primarily in black and white but uses colour selectively. Donoghue was featured in ARTSY' s 20 21 Artists in Support of Human Rights Watch benefit auction. In March 2021, Theophilus launched his Instagram page @theodocphoto on which he displays a portion of his work.
