Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Director's foreword / Susan M. Taylor -- Introduction / Russell Lord -- "Where there's beauty we take it, and where there's none we can make it:" the work of Black American photography studios / Brian Piper -- Nobody's "faithful servant:" Henry Martin represents himself / John Edwin Mason -- The art of seeing as being seen / Carla Williams "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." |
