Brigman/White Book Published
April 5th, 2023
I’ve published a book of the best of my Brigman/White project photos on Amazon. It’s a small book, just 7″x7″, 41 toned black and white photos in a 46-page book.
The photos are both new work done for this project and older photos reprocessed in the pictorial style. Some were taken in the Newark, Ohio, area where Clarence H. White did much of his work, including in some of his favorite locations. For some, I traveled to the Desolation Wilderness and Donner Pass in the Sierra Nevada mountains of eastern California, where Anne Brigman did much of her work.
Some, but, as you can see from the cover, not all of the photos are nudes, as is appropriate for tributes to these two pioneering photographers. Brigman photographed herself and other women nude in the mountain wilderness in the first decade of the Twentieth Century. Her self-portraits are likely the first nude self-portraits by a woman in the history of photography.
