Reviews

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 *
