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.

Winner, Lucie Photo Book Prize / Photography Book of the Year, 2019
Recipient of a 2017 MacArthur Foundation "genius grant," Dawoud Bey
has created a body of photography that masterfully portrays the
contemporary American experience on its own terms and in all of its
diversity. Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply offers a forty-year
retrospective of the celebrated photographer's work, from his early
street photography in Harlem to his current images of Harlem
gentrification. Photographs from all of Bey's major projects are
presented in chronological sequence, allowing viewers to see how
the collective body of portraits and recent landscapes create an
unparalleled historical representation of various communities in
the United States. Leading curators and critics-Sarah Lewis,
Deborah Willis, David Travis, Hilton Als, Jacqueline Terrassa,
Rebecca Walker, Maurice Berger, and Leigh Raiford-introduce each
series of images. Revealing Bey as the natural heir of such
renowned photographers as Roy DeCarava, Walker Evans, Gordon Parks,
and James Van Der Zee, Dawoud Bey: Seeing Deeply demonstrates how
one man's search for community can produce a stunning portrait of
our common humanity.
Since 1975, photographer Dawoud Bey has developed a body of work
distinguished for its commitment to portraiture as a means for
reflecting social circumstances. Ranging from street encounters to
studio portraits, Bey has investigated numerous photographic
methods to find increased engagement with his subjects. The
Renaissance Society exhibition this catalogue accompanies (May 13 -
July 13, 2012) included selections from Bey's work spanning the
thirty years from 1982 to the present. The exhibition offered a
comprehensive look at Bey's oeuvre, and provided an opportunity to
explore related subjects in art history and social discourse, such
as the presentation of self, race, site, and the relationship
between artist and subject. Includes essays by Arthur Danto and
Julie Bernson as well as an interview between Bey and the
Renaissance Society's Associate Curator and Director of Education,
Hamza Walker.
