Book SynopsisThis is the first study to explore the connections between late-19th-century university/college composite class portraits and the field of eugenics which first took hold in the United States at Harvard University. Eugenics, Aristogenics, Photography takes a closer look at how composite portraiture documented an idealized reality of the New England social-caste experience and explains how, when positioned in relation to the individual stories and portraits of members of the class, the portraits reveal points of non-conformity and rebellion with their own rhetoric.Trade Review"Clearly argued, thoroughly documented book. Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals; general readers."—Choice"Belden-Adams shows us the importance of reflecting today on photography’s construction of social privilege and investment in American nativism. Ascribing such work to college portraiture from the turn of the twentieth century, she reminds us that our photographic practices have always been political." —Tanya Sheehan, William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Art, Colby College, USA "Belden-Adams’s exceedingly well-researched book dives deep into the problematic waters of nineteenth-century eugenics photography and related uses of the medium. What she finds is that defining racial, criminal, and honorific types through photography held far more purchase in the US than previously known. But her study also shows that the instability of eugenics logic led to spectacular failures of the resulting pictures, particularly as compared to counter efforts at the subtle queering of photography at the same time among similar constituencies." —Andrés Mario Zervigón, Professor of the History of Photography, Rutgers University, USA"Clearly argued, thoroughly documented book.

Book SynopsisShortlisted for the Association of Dress Historians Book of the Year Award, 2021Beautifully written, entirely accessible, poignant and profound Amy de la HayeIn a culture preoccupied with newness and a fashion system largely predicated upon it, what is the significance of worn clothes and why do they have the power to affect us so deeply? How are relationships to clothing produced and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing, maintenance and repair? Through a focus upon a single garment, the shoe, this book calls on readers to reconsider the value of the marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and interest in damaged, or worn, garments quietly increases. Bringing together anthropological and psychoanalytic theory with practices of handmaking, wearing, and photography, this book asks what is the embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn?Beautifully illustrated in full color throughout, Worn is Trade ReviewIn a culture and fashion system that continues to be preoccupied with newness, the publication of Dr Ellen Sampson’s book Worn could not be more poignant ... this research succeeds beautifully in its aim of returning the body and everyday practices of wear to the center of our relationships with clothing. * Fashion Theory *An innovative work on the physical and psychological traces left by shoes on the human body. * Revue Critique (Bloomsbury Translation) *Perhaps more than any other media, worn dress can offer insights into lives lived and shoes, which over time alter to echo the contours of our feet, can be particularly redolent with meaning. Ellen Sampson’s exploration is beautifully written, entirely accessible, poignant and profound. It will resonate with us all. * Amy de la Haye, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, UK *Ellen Sampson‘s evocative and thoughtful book eloquently explores the transformative relationships between ourselves and what we wear. Using shoes as an entry point into this larger discussion, Sampson’s investigation of this entanglement is a joy to read. * Elizabeth Semmelhack, The Bata Shoe Museum, Canada *Sampson’s outstanding book explores the entanglements of object, subject, thing and theory with confident yet insightful deftness. This perceptive and timely exploration of the embodied, worn experiences around garments offers important methodological thinking that will help transform future fashion research. * Hilary Davidson, dress and textiles historian and curator, Honorary Associate, University of Sydney, Australia *Ellen Sampson’s book takes us on a powerful journey, helping us think through our physical and psychic entanglements with the worn, used clothing that forms the bulk of our own wardrobes. Using a practice-based approach, Sampson helps us creatively understand how objects “touch” us, challenging traditional views of fashion as commodity culture. * Alison Matthews David, Ryerson University, Canada *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgments Preface Introduction Wearing Diary 1 Chapter 1: New Shoes: Objects of fantasy, Objects of desire Wearing Diary 2 Chapter 2: Wearing and being worn Wearing Diary 3 Chapter 3: The dressed body in motion Wearing Diary 4 Chapter 4: The Cleaved Garment: the maker, the wearer, and the 'me and not me' of fashion practice Wearing Diary 5 Chapter 5: The Empty Shoe: Imprint, memory, and the marks of experience Wearing Diary 6 Chapter 6: Encounters and affects: garments, and the memory nexus Wearing Diary 7 Chapter 7: Worn: Imprint, attachment, and the affective encounter Afterword References Notes Index

Book SynopsisAfrican photography has emerged as a significant focus of research and scholarship over the last twenty years, the result of a growing interest in postcolonial societies and cultures and a turn towards visual evidence across the humanities and social sciences. At the same time, many rich and fascinating photographic collections have come to light. This volume explores the complex theoretical and practical issues involved in the study of African photographic archives, based on case studies drawn from across the continent dating from the 19th century to the present day. Chapters consider what constitutes an archive, from the familiar mission and state archives to more local, vernacular and personal accumulations of photographs; the importance of a critical and reflexive engagement with photographic collections; and the question of where and what is Africa', as constructed in the photographic archive. Essential reading for all researchers working with photographic archives, this book consTrade Review"As a whole, The African Photographic Archive addresses many of the methodological, conceptual and analytical concerns that have become salient in studies of African photography in the recent past … The African Photographic Archive opens up fruitful perspectives for future studies of African photography, and the book undoubtedly will be a rich fundus to students, curators, archivists and scholars of photography. - History of Photography This is a culturally relevant choice, reflecting the many ways that local communities collect and interact with photographs … which will lead scholars down new avenues in their research, whether or not their focus is specific to Africa. - Art Libraries Society of North America - Robin Potter, University of New Mexico, USA This exciting collection treats photographic images and archives as messages offered to an unknown future. Traces of past events become revelatory in the hands of these stellar contributors. This is a book that should be read by everyone interested in the potential of new practices of visual history. - Christopher Pinney, Professor of Anthropology and Visual Culture at University College London, UK This is a timely and ground-breaking collection of essays that focusses on the construction of the African photographic archive as a contested, critical site of collection, reflection and re-invention. In eleven distinctive and finely-honed studies, the archive is stretched and extended – both geographically and theoretically – so that it ranges from the vernacular to the official, the ephemeral to the artistic, while opening up to question the very terms that it puts into place. - Tamar Garb, Durning Lawrence Professor in the History of Art at University College London, UK This excellent book is for those who want to be there, for those “who care for” the images they study and the social relationships implied. - Anthropos"Table of ContentsPrefaceList of IllustrationsList of Contributors1.

Book SynopsisSuits that pop with loud colors and dazzling patterns, complete with a nearly ubiquitous bowtie, define the style of the new “dandy.” Described as “high-styled rebels” by author Shantrelle P. Lewis, black men with a penchant for color and refined fashion, both new and vintage, have gained popular attention in recent years, influencing mainstream fashion. But black dandyism itself is not new; originating in Enlightenment England’s slave culture, it has continued for generations in black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, this iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be black, masculine, and fashionable. Dandy Lion presents and celebrates individual dandy personalities, designers and tailors, movements and events that define contemporary dandyism. Throughout the book, self-expression is communicated through personal style, clothing, shoes, hats, and swagger. Lewis’s carefully curated selection of contemporary photographs surveys the movement across the globe in spectacular form, with all of the vibrant patterns, electrifying colors, and fanciful poses of this brilliant style subculture.

Book SynopsisVirginia Woolf ’s prescient 1928 novel Orlando tells the story of a young nobleman who, during the era of Elizabeth I, mysteriously shifts gender, and lives on for three centuries without aging. Today, Orlando remains startlingly fresh for its playful imagining of gender fluidity. In 1992, filmmaker Sally Potter released an adaptation of the book with Tilda Swinton carrying the film as Orlando. Woolf ’s tale has continued to hold sway over Swinton, who describes the book’s ability “to change like a magic mirror. Where I once assumed it was a book about eternal youth, I now see it as a book about growing up, about learning to live.”This special issue of Aperture magazine, guest edited by Swinton, will draw upon the themes of the novel—gender, indeterminate space, and the passage of time—and offer readers a collection of images and writings that celebrate openness and curiosity, in contrast to a contemporary political moment of insurgent parochialism and divisiveness. “Woolf wrote Orlando,” Swinton notes, “in an attitude of celebration of the oscillating nature of existence. She believed the creative mind to be androgynous. I have come to see Orlando far less as being about gender than about the flexibility of the fully awake and sensate spirit: as Orlando him/herself so memorably remarks at the critical moment of transformation: ‘Same person, different sex: no difference at all.’ The issue of Aperture, then, will be a salute to indetermination. Peopled by voices and visions of artists and writers who are kaleidoscopically wired.”

Book SynopsisAt turns humorous and absurd, heartfelt and searching, Photo No-Nos is for photographers of all levels wishing to avoid easy metaphors and to sharpen their visual communication skills. Photographers often have unwritten lists of subjects they tell themselves not to shoot—things that are cliché, exploitative, derivative, sometimes even arbitrary. Photo No-Nos features ideas, stories, and anecdotes from many of the world’s most talented photographers and photography professionals on what not to photograph, along with an encyclopedic list of taboo subjects compiled from and illustrated by contributors. Not a strict guide, but a series of meditations on “bad” pictures, Photo No-Nos covers a wide range of topics, from mannequins and TVs in motel rooms to issues of colonialism, stereotypes, and social responsibility. At a time when societies are reckoning with what and how to communicate through media and who has the right to do so, this book is a timely and thoughtful resource on what photographers consider to be off-limits and how they have contended with their own self-imposed rules without being paralyzed by them.

Book SynopsisWe Were Here: Sexuality, Photography, and Cultural Difference offers an unparalleled firsthand account of the influential photographer and curator Sunil Gupta’s writing and critical inquiry since the 1970s. Newspaper articles, speeches, and essays show Gupta’s crucial role at the center of grassroots queer and postcolonial organizing throughout an artistic career lived between Canada, the UK, and India. In his pieces about homosexuality in Indian cities, the AIDS crisis, the Black Arts Movement, or key figures including Joy Gregory and Robert Mapplethorpe, Gupta foregrounds the power of cultural activism in the politically fraught contexts of London and Delhi, and illuminates the essential connections between queer migration and self-discovery. Continually questioning given forms of identity, Gupta offers artists and curators multiple strategies of resistance, carving out space for new ways of imagining what it might mean to live, love, and create.

Book SynopsisRevolution Is Love: A Year of Black Trans Liberation is the powerful and celebratory visual record of a contemporary activist movement in New York City, and a moving testament to the enduring power of photography in activism, advocacy, and community. In June 2020, after a Black trans woman in Missouri and a Black trans man in Florida were killed just weeks apart, activists Qween Jean and Joela Rivera returned to the historic Stonewall Inn—site of the 1969 riots that launched the modern gay rights movement—where they initiated weekly actions known thereafter as the Stonewall Protests. Brought together by the urgent need to center Black trans and queer lives within the Black Lives Matter movement, a vibrant and radical community emerged. Over the following year, the Stonewall Protests brought together thousands of people across communities and social movements to gather in solidarity, resistance, and communion. Each Thursday was an invitation for protests, healing, and celebration—whether through marches, voguing balls, or vigil—and a living testament to love in revolution. This book gathers twenty-four photographers who participated in these actions to share images and words on the demonstrations and their community at large, preserving this legacy as it unfolded. Through photographs, interviews, and text, Revolution Is Love celebrates the power of shared joy and struggle in trans community and liberation. Featuring images and text by Ramie Ahmed, Lucy Baptiste, Budi, Brandon English, Deb Fong, Snake Garcia, Stas Ginzburg, Katie Godowski, Robert Hamada, Chae Kihn, Zak Krevitt, Erica Lansner, Daniel Lehrhaupt, Caroline Mardok, Ryan McGinley, Josh Pacheco, Jarrett Robertson, Phoenix Robles, Souls of a Movement, Madison Swart, Cindy Trinh, Sean Waltrous, Ruvan Wijesooriya, and David Zung

Or they were chronicles of war and povertypoverty porn. But now, curator Catherine E. McKinley draws on her extensive collection of historical and contemporary photos to present a visual history spanning a hundred-year arc (18701970) of what is among the earliest photography on the continent. These images tell a different story of African women: how deeply cosmopolitan and modern they are in their style; how they were able to reclaim the tools of the colonial oppression that threatened their selfhood and livelihoods.Featuring works by celebrated African masters, African studios of local legend, and anonymous artists, The African Lookbook captures the dignity, playfulness, austerity, grandeur, and fantasy-making of African women across centuries. McKinley also features photos by Europeansmost starkly, striking nudesrevealing the relationships between white men and the Black female sitters where, at best, a grave power imbalance lies. It's a bittersweet truth that when there is exploitation there can also be profound resistance expressed in unexpected wayseven if it's only in gazing back. These photos tell the story of how the sewing machine and the camera became powerful tools for women's self-expression, revealing a truly glorious display of everyday beauty.

Book SynopsisA deeper look at the creativity, art, expression, craft, and philosophy of landscape photography.More Than a Rock, 2nd Edition is a passionate and personal book about creativity and expression. In this series of over 70 brief essays, photographer and teacher Guy Tal shares his thoughts and experiences as an artist who seeks to express more in his images than the mere appearance of the subject portrayed. Following up on the success of the first edition, this revised edition contains updated imagery, a new essay in each of the book's four sections—Art, Craft, Experiences, and Meditations—and is presented in a beautiful hardcover format.Tal makes an argument to consider creative landscape photography—expressing something of the photographer's conception through the use of natural aesthetics—as a form of visual art that is distinct from the mere representation of beautiful natural scenes. Tal covers topics such as the art of photography, approaches to landscape photography, and the experiences of a working photographic artist. His essays also include reflections on nature and man's place in it, living a meaningful life, and living as an artist in today's world.The book is decidedly non-technical and focuses on philosophy, nature, and visual expression. It was written for those photographers with a passion and interest in creative photography. Anyone who is pursuing their work as art, is in need of inspiration, or is interested in the writings of a full-time working photographic artist will benefit from reading this book. The book is visually punctuated with Tal's inspiring and breathtaking photography.'Some images look like things, while others feel like things; some images are of things, while others are about things. A creative image is not a record of a scene nor a substitute for a real experience. Rather, it is an experience in itself—an aesthetic experience—something new that the artist has given the world, rather than a contrived view of something that already existed independent of them.' — Guy Tal

Book SynopsisWhen Joe McNally moved to New York City in 1976, his first job was at the Daily News as a copyboy, the wretched dog of the newsroom. He was earning the lowest pay grade possible and living in a cheap hotel in Manhattan. Life was not glamorous. But with a fierce drive, an eye for a picture, and a willingness to take (almost) any assignment that came his way, Joe stepped out onto the always precarious tightrope of the freelance photographer and never looked back. Fast forward 40 years, and his work has included assignments and stories for National Geographic, Time, LIFE, Sports Illustrated, and more. He has travelled for assignments to nearly 70 countries and received dozens of awards for his photography. In The Real Deal, Joe tells us how it all started, and candidly shares stories, lessons, and insights he has collected along the way. This is not a dedicated how-to book about where to put the light, though there is certainly instructional information to be gleaned here. This is also not a navel-gazing look back at the good old days, because those never really existed anyway. Instead, The Real Deal is simply a collection of candid field notes some short, some quite long gathered over time that, together, become an intimate look behind the scenes at a photographer who has pretty much seen and done it all. Though the photography industry bears little resemblance to the industry just 10 years ago (much less 40 years ago), what it really takes to become a successful photographer the character traits, the fundamental lessons, the ability to adapt, and then adapt again remains the same. Joe writes about everything from the crucial ability to know how to use (and make!) window light to the importance of creating long-term relationships built on trust; from lessons learned after a day in the field to the need to follow your imagination wherever it takes you; from the random and lucky moments that propel one s career to the wonders and pitfalls of today s camera technology. For every mention of f-stops and shutter speeds, there is equal discussion about the importance of access, the occasional moment of hubris, and the idea of becoming iconic. Before Joe was a celebrated and award-winning photographer, before he was a well-respected educator and author of multiple bestselling books, he was just Joe, hustling every day, from one assignment to the next, piecing together a portfolio, a skill set, a reputation, a career. He imagined a life and then took pictures of it. Here are a few frames.

Book SynopsisCuba is one of the most enticing, exotic, and romantic places that photographers can hope to find. The lucky ones get to spend a week or two just in Havana, while others go on day-trips to the tobacco farms in the Valle de Vinales, or take a tour to the eastern tip of the island to visit Santiago de Cuba. But photographer Volker Figueredo-Veliz wanted to dive into the authentic, local routine of everyday Cuban life. He lived in Havana s old town and explored the city on foot with his camera every day for months. He had already photographed Cuba s cliches years ago, so this time he was on the lookout for fresh images of a different, more enigmatic Cuba. In short, he was searching for Cuba s soul. He took every day as it came, and had no plan or specific goals. Every day felt like a series of stories that unfolded before his eyes. These were tiny, trivial events, everyday scenes, and quiet, poetic moments alongside unexpected, quirky, and sometimes crazy episodes. Featuring an introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony DePalma, Los Cubanos is a beautiful collection of black and white images, along with the stories behind the photographs, that Figueredo-Veliz s camera froze in time in a fraction of a second, and that come back to life in this book.

That s why this book was created: to quickly get you to the technique, the shortcut, the setting, or exactly the right thing you need to do right now. Here s how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing, you turn to the chapter where it would be found (Layers, Printing, Fixing Problems, Special Effects, etc.), find the thing you need to do (it s easy, each page covers just one single topic), and Scott tells you exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get back to editing your images fast. This isn t a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed multi-step concepts. This is a book on which button to click, which setting to use, and exactly how and when to use it, so you re never stuck in Photoshop again. This will be your go to book that sits within reach any time you re working in Photoshop, and you are going to love having this type of help right at your fingertips.
