| | THE ENVIRONMENTAL PORTRAIT
The problem with many portraits taken in the 19th and early 20th century was that they were sterile. Placing a subject in a studio does not explain the interaction with the environment. DPI tries to show subjects in their natural habitat, you will excuse the expression. Above is a photo we call "Bedouin Woman"; Persia (Iran), (1935). We assess that the photo was probably taken along the Iraq-Iran border somewhere north of Basra. Note the black tent symbolic of the Bedouins. Below is an image that we have previously presented, but that we are most proud of. We call it "The Rag Man"; Hartford, Connecticut c.1936. An iconic image from the past. It was a common sight in the past decades. This man made his living collecting bits of cloth and other items from the people. Sometimes a "junk man" would come by using a horse and wagon. You could hear the clanking of cow bells as the wagon made its way through the streets. For information regarding licensing any of our newsletter images please use the contact link below.
