A timely reconsideration of the history of photography that places
Black studio photographers, and their subjects, at the center From
photography’s beginnings in the United States, Black studio
photographers operated on the developing edge of popular media to
produce affirming portraits for their clients, as well as a wide
range of photographic work rooted in their communities. Called to
the Camera offers a comprehensive history of this work, from the
nineteenth-century daguerreotypes of James Presley Ball to the
height of Black studios in the mid-twentieth century, and considers
contemporary photographers responding to Black studio traditions
today. In addition to showcasing famous photographers such as Ball,
James Van Der Zee, and Addison Scurlock, this volume brings
attention to dozens of other artists across the country, including
Florestine Perrault Collins, Austin Hansen, and Henry Clay
Anderson. The book features more than one hundred extraordinary
vintage photographs, many of them unique objects and some, like
those by the Hooks Brothers Studio, published here for the first
time. Highlighting Black subjects on both sides of the camera,
Called to the Camera presents a broader and more inclusive history
of photography. Distributed for the New Orleans Museum of Art
Exhibition Schedule: New Orleans Museum of Art (September 15,
2022–January 8, 2023)
Looking Again is as much about photography as it is about the
specific photographs reproduced within it. It is designed to
provide the reader with a glimpse into both the collection at the
New Orleans Museum of Art and into photography's complexity.
Through 132 objects and essays, Russell Lord explores the many
histories of photography, addressing long-held beliefs and offering
new ways of thinking about, and looking at, photographs. As the
world moves increasingly toward an image-dependent style of
communication, there has never been a better time to seriously
examine our belief in or apprehension toward the photographic
image. Standing on the threshold of what might be a turning point
in humanity's relationship to the photograph, this volume
encourages the reader to dig deeply into photography: to look, and
then look again. This book is published on the centennial of the
first photography exhibition presented at the New Orleans Museum of
Art, in 1918.
The tintype is rooted in more than 150 years of photographic
method. In this collection of extraordinary portraits, Timothy
Duffy brings new vitality to this old form, capturing powerful
images of musicians who represent the roots of American music.
These American blues, jazz, and folk artists are living expressions
of a cultural legacy, made and remade by everyday people and passed
down through generations. In the hands of the people in Duffy's
portraits, centuries-old traditions find new expression in this
digital millennium. Likewise, Duffy's photographic techniques fuse
old forms and the original collodion wet plates with modern
lighting. In this collaboration between photographer and artist,
music and image meet around a history of struggle, adaptability,
and creativity. It is this ethos that Duffy captures in his
tintypes. Some of the musicians in Duffy's photographs have found
fame, but most have not. While the world finds inspiration in the
grassroots creativity of these musicians, barriers of class, race,
and place often keep them underacknowledged and obscured. But in
these photographs, Duffy demands they be seen.
An important reconsideration of landscape photography in
19th-century America, exploring crucial but neglected geographies,
practitioners, and themes Although pictures of the West have
dominated our perception of 19th-century American landscape
photography, many photographers were working in the eastern half of
the United States during that period. Their pictures, with the
exception of Civil War images, have received relatively scant
attention. Redressing this imbalance is East of the Mississippi,
the first book to focus exclusively on the arresting eastern
photographs that helped shape America's national identity.
Celebrating natural wonders such as Niagara Falls and the White
Mountains as well as capturing a cultural landscape fundamentally
altered by industrialization, these works also documented the
impact of war, promoted tourism, and played a role in an emerging
environmentalism. Showcasing more than 180 photographs from 1839 to
1900 in a rich variety of media and formats-from daguerreotypes,
salted paper prints, tintypes, cyanotypes, and albumen prints to
stereo cards and photograph albums-this volume traces the evolution
of eastern landscape photography and introduces the artists who
explored this subject. Also considered are the dynamic ties with
other media-for instance, between painters and photographers such
as the Bierstadt and Moran brothers-and the distinctive development
of landscape photography in America. Published in association with
the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. Exhibition Schedule:
