"In portraits like A Girl with a Knife Nosepin, Brooklyn, NY (1990), we see an extreme close-up of a young girl’s face that leads her eyes to meet ours in an intimate encounter. The photograph is a great example of Bey’s tender and unmatched technical approach to photographing Black subjects and culture that creates a conversation between not just the subject and the photographer, but also between the subject and the viewer." #VisualLiteracy #CriticalThinking #Photography #Storytelling

"Margaret Bourke-White was born in New York City in 1904, and grew up in rural New Jersey. She went on to study science and art at multiple universities in the United States from 1921 to 1927, then began a successful run as an industrial photographer, making notable images of factories and skyscrapers in the late 1920s. By 1929, she began working for magazine publishers, joining both Fortune and, later, LIFE." #Archive #History #Photography #Storytelling

"Photographer Bill Hao from Vancouver, Canada, spent two years building a huge oakwood camera. It shoots gigantic wet plate collodion photos measuring 32×48 inches.![]()
The collodion wet plate process has one very critical requirement: the photographer must be able to coat, expose and develop the plate while wet within 15 minutes. This would be fine for shooting in a studio with an attached darkroom for quickly developing, but Hao had other ideas. He wanted to take the camera out to his favorite spots in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and shoot landscapes.![]()

The instant processing requirement led to a traveling darkroom, which also had to be huge. Hao built one out of a Prevost bus/RV." #CriticalThinking #Photography #Storytelling
