Vikki Tobak spoke to Stephen Shames about the iconic image "Panthers on Parade".

Henry Chalfant and Martha Cooper were praised by Martha Schwendener in The New York Times.

"Thanks to Mr. Chalfant and others, like Martha Cooper, the ephemeral work was preserved in photographs. Sure, it was illegal. But graffiti art has become one of the most globally recognizable and copied forms of contemporary culture. And in the realm of creative civil disobedience, it is one of the most extraordinary instances of a bunch of young, working-class artists affecting the world."

"Power to the People: The World of the Black Panthers" by Stephen Shames and Bobby Seale has been included on Lens Culture's list, "32 Personal Favorite Photobooks of 2016." Congratulations Stephen Shames!

Our Louis Draper exhibition was featured in Artforum's Best of 2016 Issue! The exhibition was ranked number 6 on Vince Aletti's list of top ten exhibitions.


"Draper is here in part as a representative of New York's Kamoinge Workshop, the collective of African American photographers he helped found in 1963; Roy DeCarava was the group's first director. A book and an East Village group show focused timely new attention on Kamoinge this year, but Draper's expansive, engaging retrospective was the most effective argument for the workshop's continuing importance. Working in black-and-white, usually on the streets of Harlem, the photographer sized up his fellow citizens with an incisiveness that allowed for sympathy but was not clouded by it. He was even better with streetscapes and interiors, their missing inhabitants hauntingly present. Gathering years of work, the show made Draper one of the year's most surprising and substantial rediscoveries."

Nine of Meryl Meisler's disco photographs were aired on PBS SOUNDBREAKING, Episode 5: Four On The Floor.

TIME’s First Take series features Brooklyn-based documentary photographer Ruddy Roye. Known for his raw and gritty editorial and environmental portraits, Roye sees himself as more than just a photographer – he’s also an activist whose images present society’s injustices.

Roye’s motivation is simple: “I look for dignity,” he says. “I look for what is familiar. I find it easier to look for it in somebody else and to photograph it as a way of talking about it.”

Jack Neubart praises Jill Freedman's documentary photography.

"Jill Freedman is not one of those names that readily rolls off the tongue when we discuss documentary photography. But it should be. Her documentary photographs are as real, as telling, as poignant as it gets. They are moments captured in a style all her own, albeit with the same measure of truth as a Dorothea Lange portrait of life during the Great Depression."

The New York Times explores Mark Seliger's forthcoming book “Christopher Street: Transgender Stories.”

The New York Times mentions the opening of Ruddy Roye's first solo exhibition in a write up about Photoville.

"Last year, Photoville presented work by Ruddy Roye, a Brooklyn-based photographer with a wide following on Instagram. Last week, Mr. Roye opened his first solo exhibition, at the Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea."

Ruddy Roye's work was featured in The New York Times' interview with curator Sarah Lewis on editing Aperture's special Vision+ Justice issue, which celebrates photography of the black experience.

Not only is Zenyatta’s portrait often featured, but her iconic prowess and presence are brought up again and again.

The Work Mag claims Marianna Rothen to be a favorite at Photo London.

"Chief among our favourites was new photographer Marianna Rothen, a New-York based artist represented by Steven Kasher Gallery who creates atmospheric, enticingly unsettling images. Rothen works in polaroid, producing photographs that act like a window into an unnamed film-set, an overwhelmingly female world of dystopian road trips and seductive yet haunting domesticity."

The Brooklyn Rail sat down with the long-time colleagues and friends to talk through the ways in which their practices intertwine and bolster each other’s art.

British Journal of Photography explores the work of Brian Griffin. 

Much of his work, often depicting workers and tradesmen, seems meticulously staged, yet honest and full of emotions. Griffin’s work transforms workplaces into stages and his subjects into actors. As one of Britain’s most influential portrait photographers, he achieved early recognition for his work in the 1970s and 1980s, developing a style which has since been referred to as Capitalist Realism.

Guest host Phoebe Judge talks with Burk Uzzle about his upbringing in the rural South and the stories behind his photographs.Uzzle's work is showcased in three new exhibits: Burk Uzzle: American Chronicle at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, on view until September 25; Burk Uzzle: Southern Landscapes at the Nasher Museum of Art in Durham is open until September 18; and All About America: Photographs by BurkUzzle at the Ackland Art Museum in Chapel Hill on view from June 24 to September 11.

Burk Uzzle shares the memories of his most unforgettable images with T Magazine. This summer, Uzzle is being celebrated in his home state of North Carolina, with ongoing shows at the N.C. Museum of Art, the Nasher Museum at Duke University and, opening on June 24, the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

When Timothy McDarrah was a child, his father would park him for the evening with a silver-haired man named Andy at a downtown place called the Factory while he went out to photograph the Bohemians flocking to Greenwich Village. Tim’s father, Fred, was the photographer and photo editor for the Village Voice for half a century, and from the 1950s to the ’70s, when the Village was the center of intellectual and artistic ferment, the Voice was its chronicle. Now McDarrah, with his brother Patrick and their mother, Gloria, is battling to preserve some of the neighborhood’s old magic with his Save the Village walking tours of key places in its social history, even as many of those landmarks fall to gentrification and New York University’s expansion.

Garden & Gun gives us an inside look on the work of Burk Uzzle and names him one the nations most celebrated photographers.This summer, his sixty years of photographing American life will be celebrated in a collaborative retrospective mounted by three of North Carolina’s premier museums—the Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, and Raleigh’sNorth Carolina Museum of Art.

"The 1984 multiple-exposure portrait of Siouxsie Sioux in the shadows, unmasked by a streak of light across her eyes, one of six pictures by Brian Griffin which reminded us that a commercial photographer can also be a serious artist."
