Photographers

There are as many ways to approach photography as there are photographic images. Click the images to learn more about each artist and their approach to photographic media. Some artists look at photography as their primary medium, while others (Carolee Schneeman especially) integrate photography into a more eclectic studio practice. Towards the bottom of the page, you'll find a list of biographies and other books on photographers available through the PCC Library.
