In The Photography Workshop Series, Aperture Foundation works with
the world's top photographers to distill their creative approaches,
teachings, and insights on photography-offering the workshop
experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers of all
levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers
interested in deepening their understanding of the art of
photography. In this book, Dawoud Bey-well-known for his striking
portraits that reflect both the individual and their larger
community-offers his insight on creating meaningful and beautiful
portraits that capture the subject and speak to something more
universal. Through images and words, he shares his own creative
process and discusses a wide range of issues, from lighting and
location to establishing relationships with subjects, and practical
strategies for starting a larger portraiture project.
Examining a single broad tribal identity - al-Azd - from the
immediate pre-Islamic period into the early Abbasid era, this book
notes the ways it was continually refashioned over that time. It
explores the ways in which the rise of the early Islamic empire
influenced the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula who became a core
part of it, and examines the connections between the kinship
societies and the developing state of the early caliphate. This
helps us to understand how what are often called 'tribal' forms of
social organisation identity conditioned its growth and helped
shape what became its common elite culture. Studying the
relationship between tribe and state during the first two centuries
of the caliphate, author Brian Ulrich's focus is on understanding
the survival and transformation of tribal identity until it became
part of the literate high culture of the Abbasid caliphate and a
component of a larger Arab ethnic identity. He argues that, from
pre-Islamic Arabia to the caliphate, greater continuity existed
between tribal identity and social practice than is generally
portrayed.
