Ecologies of Photography in the American West
The evolving ecological dimensions of photography in the American West and their ongoing impact. Photography and the American West have long been culturally intertwined. Since the 19th century, iconic photographs of western landscapes - think of Carleton Watkins's Yosemite views - have been read as inherently environmentalist. Challenging this assumption, Ecologies of Photography in the American West examines the medium's role in documenting, profiting from, and transforming ecosystems across its varied geographies. This book brings together a diverse range of scholars and artists to trace photography's roots in the earth and its entanglement with resource extraction and ecological rights. Timely and expansive in scope, the volume reframes the history of the region and foregrounds photography's complicity-as well as its potential-in shaping environmental understanding. It speaks to anyone attuned to the urgent environmental conversations defining the contemporary American West.

Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Adding nuance to the story of the photographer’s brilliant career by detailing his collaborations with some of the biggest names in Mexican art Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902–2002) was a Mexican photographer and one of the most significant figures in twentieth century Latin American art. This book challenges the persistent myth of Bravo as a singular genius by foregrounding the artist’s connections with some of the greatest minds of his day, and by looking at the photographer’s long career through the lens of projects he created with others. The book considers many kinds of collaboration, including Lola Álvarez Bravo’s contributions to the artist’s early photographs, the mentoring he received from Tina Modotti, his portraits of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, his work in the film industry during the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema alongside Luis Buñuel and Gabriel Figueroa, his mentoring of Graciela Iturbide, and his book project with Octavio Paz. The intention is not to suggest that working together is always better than working alone. Indeed, the essays in this volume argue that many of these working partnerships were lopsided, providing one figure with substantially greater agency than the other. What rises to the surface is the idea that collaboration is an inherent part of the creative process, particularly in the field of photography.
