The photographer selects his last photographs taken 'walking the streets with a small handheld 35mm camera.'
Dawoud Bey began photographing the streets of Harlem in the mid 1970s after receiving a camera that belonged to his late godfather. He took a class at his local YMCA, purchased some books, and quietly began observing the street with this camera in hand. Almost 50 years later, Dawoud’s archive of portraiture traces seismic changes – social, political and technological – that play out in the grandest and smallest details of his images.
“I've selected some of my favourite early pictures, made after the completion of my first project, ‘Harlem, U.S.A.’, made from 1975-1979,” he says. “They are the last pictures I made walking the streets with a small handheld 35mm camera. They are the result of having my camera with me at all times and always being alert and responsive to the possibilities for visualising the urban experience and the Black presence within it.
“After several years making these pictures, in 1988 I started using a tripod-mounted 4x5 camera and making the more directly engaging and deliberate formal portraits that I continued making for several decades.”I was walking in New York City on the Upper West Side one afternoon, and I happened to see this woman through the window of a luncheonette.
