Born in Brooklyn in 1940, Arthur Tress studied art and art history, world culture and philosophy at Bard College. After graduation, he moved to Paris to attend film school, but soon left. He traveled widely before settling in Sweden to work as a photographer at the Stockholm Ethnographic Museum. In 1968 he moved back to the United States intent on becoming a professional photographer. One of the first artists in the 1970s to break way from street photography and develop a more personal vision, he became best known for his works of staged surrealism.

Stanley Stellar is considered one of “the” photographers of the early period of gay liberation. His photographs from that time have become icons of that history. Born in Brooklyn in 1945, Stellar was educated at the Parsons School of Design where he focused on graphic design and photography.

Leon Levinstein

 

il_fullxfull.578294655_p5va.jpg

 

Born in West Virginia, Leon Levinstein (1910-1988) photographed hookers, housewives, businessmen, crossdressers, and the permanently down-and-out in a very raw style from the early 1950s until a few years before his death. Shortly after his discharge from the army in 1945, he moved to New York City to work as an art director in his cousin’s advertising agency. In 1947–48, he studied with John Ebstel and Sid Grossman at the Photo League, and then in 1948–51 with Stuart Davis and Alexey Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research. In the 1950s and 60s, Levinstein's work was published extensively in magazines such as Popular Photography and U.S. Camera Annual, and won Popular Photography 1952's International Photography Contest. Levinstein rarely worked on assignment and never made photography books. He earned his living as a graphic designer, not as a professional photographer, and generally remained aloof from the art world, although he received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1975.

I give myself 10 more years.

LOL. Well, if that's true, @TruthBTold, here's hoping this is the caregiver who takes you to Coney Island on a hot summer day, puts the paper bag over your head to protect it from the sun, and asks to take your picture ...
