'An Unfettered Sense of Self’: Remembering Photographer Matthew Thorsen




Vermont Edition show

Summary: For more than 20 years photographer Matthew Thorsen's pictures were a mainstay in Vermont’s weekly newspaper Seven Days, capturing the people, events and landscapes of the state and defining the paper’s visual style. He was well-known in Burlington's art and music scenes, as much for his quirky sense of style and shock of bleach blond hair as for his photographs. Thorsen died on New Year's Day after a yearslong battle with cancer. He was 51.
