Henry Horenstein is a nationally recognized photographer, teacher, and author. An educator for over 30 years, Horenstein has written several of the most enduring textbooks used in photographic education. His lecture will focus on his book, Close Relations, recently published by powerHouse Books.
In Close Relations, Horenstein presents his earliest photographs. Mixed with humor and history, this collection of family and friends, landscapes, and period imagery describe a time familiar to everyone, when one moves from adolescence to adulthoodvremaining a part of a family while beginning to create a world of one’s own. As a history student in the late 1960s, Horenstein learned the importance of preserving the present to create a record for the future. As he took up photography, while studying at the Rhode Island School of Design he carried these lessons with him.
A book signing will follow the leture. Close Relations and other titles will be available for purchase. Henry Horenstein has worked as a photographer, teacher, and author since the early 1970s. He is author of over 30 books, including many monographs (Honky Tonk, Humans, Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, Racing Days) and classic textbooks (Black and White Photography, Beyond Basic Photography, Color Photography, and Photography with Russell Hart).
