Dawoud Bey on Photographing People and Communities: The Photography Workshop Series

In the fifth installment of The Photography Workshop Series, Dawoud Bey--well known for striking portraits that reflect both the individual and their larger community--offers his insight on creating meaningful and beautiful portraits that capture the subject and speak to something more universal.

Aperture Foundation works with the world's top photographers to distill their creative approaches to, teachings on, and insights into photography--offering the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to inspire photographers at all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography. Through images and words, he shares his own creative process and discusses a wide range of issues, from lighting and location to establishing relationships with subjects, and practical strategies for starting a larger portraiture project.
