History of Art & Design Styles; Photography & photographs; Gender studies: men

What, if anything, makes photography masculine? This book begins the task of recognizing men’s photography as the work of men and their masculinities.

From the composite portraiture at the male-only university of the 1880s, to the work of still-living photographer Reagan Louie, the authors situate their photographic subjects in the context of evolving racial, gender, and class identities in Europe and America. Several of the authors analyze instances when men photographers subverted hegemonic masculinity by exposing its signs. The authors are also attuned to the role of queerness and the queer gaze in fine art, documentary, and fashion photography of the last century. Common to them all is a refusal to take for granted the constructed masculinity that surrounded photography’s practitioners and institutions, whether those practitioners paid its costs or drew its dividends.

Reviews for A History of Male Photographers: Analyzing Men as Men in Scientific, Commercial, and Art Photography, 1870 to the Present

Nicole Hudgins’s scholarly anthology shines a probing and long overdue light on male identity and experience as shaping forces in our understanding of photo history, as viewed through some of its leading male practitioners. Joined together with remarkable cohesiveness, each meticulously researched essay illuminates a distinct instance in which studying male photographers as men reveals heretofore underappreciated complications and urgencies felt by male photographers and manifest in their work. In the context of our current moment, wherein a significant crisis of masculinity—and equally one of understanding masculinity—exert real and sustained impact on our lives, A History of Male Photographers is exactly the kind of book we need. * Jason Weems, Associate Professor, University of California, USA *
