established photographers, and the
influence of its new discoveries. The gallery
was the first to show Susan Derges'
"camera-less" photographs; Robert Franks
from the Penn Collection; and the
experimental work of artists such as Liz
Nielsen and Yuji Obata. The Gallery is now
permanently located at 980 Madison Ave.
Its programming pulls from the worlds of
art, new media, and print to create an up
to date vision of photography's place in the
world.
 Laurence Miller has over forty years experience in the fine art photography
market, not only as a gallerist and curator, but also as an active collector. In his
earliest years as an associate of Light Gallery and later as owner/director of the
Laurence Miller Gallery, he has represented many of photography's modern
masters... As a member of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA) and the
Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD), the gallery is
committed to representing and exhibiting artworks of the highest quality in every
regard. February 2018 marked the gallery's 34th Anniversary, making it one of
the oldest continually operating galleries in New York City specializing in the art
of photography. Since opening in 1984, Laurence Miller Gallery has concentrated
on the exhibition and sale of museum quality contemporary and vintage fine art
photography, having presented over 250 exhibitions. The gallery specializes in
American photography since 1940, Asian photography since 1950, and
international contemporary photo-based art.

Photography: A Throwback
The history of photography began in remote antiquity with the
discovery of two critical principles: camera obscura image projection and
the observation that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light.
There are no artifacts or descriptions that indicate any attempt to capture
images with light sensitive materials prior to the 18th century. Around
1717 Johann Heinrich Schulze captured cut-out letters on a bottle of a
light-sensitive slurry, but he apparently never thought of making the results
durable. Around 1800 Thomas Wedgwood made the first reliably
documented, although unsuccessful attempt at capturing camera images in
permanent form. His experiments did produce detailed photograms, but
Wedgwood and his associate Humphry Davy found no way to fix these
images.
A practical means of color photography was sought from the very beginning.
Results were demonstrated by Edmond Becquerel as early as the year of 1848,
but exposures lasting for hours or days were required and the captured colors
were so light-sensitive they would only bear very brief inspection in dim light.
The commercial introduction of computer-based electronic digital cameras in the
1990s soon revolutionized photography. During the first decade of the 21st
century, traditional film-based photochemical methods were increasingly
marginalized as the practical advantages of the new technology became widely
appreciated and the image quality of moderately priced digital cameras was
continually improved. Especially since cameras became a standard feature on
smartphones, taking pictures (and instantly publishing them online) has become
a ubiquitous everyday practice around the world. It has been suggested that
some lost type of photographic technology must have been applied before 1357:
the Shroud of Turin contains an image that resembles a sepia
photographic negative and is much clearer when it is converted to a positive
image. The actual method that resulted in this image has not yet been
conclusively identified. It first appeared in historical records in 1357
and radiocarbon dating tests indicate it was probably made between 1260 and
1390.[6] No other examples of detailed negative images from before the 19th
century are known.

 Micaiah Carter

Tania Age: 23.
Instagram: @micaiahcarter
Location: Raised in the Mojave Desert; based in Brooklyn.

Micaiah Carter also has Nike to thank, for putting the photographer
together with his latest collaborator: Kendrick Lamar, to create a campaign
for the drop of Lamar's hyped Cortez Kenny IV sneaker. Though it was all
Carter's own work that got him up to that point, including cover shoots
with The Weeknd and Ciara, for the likes of Time and King Kong. Not bad
for someone who started out creating "weird fashion shoots with my
friends" in the Mojave and posting them on Tumblr.

Franco Klein
 Age: 28.
Instagram: @taniafrancoklein.
Location: Raised in Mexico City; based between Mexico City and Long
Beach, California.

You'd be forgiven for mistaking Tania Franco Klein's photographs for film
stills; even she thinks of them as more than simply photos. "I create
tableaux, which consists of constructing sets, altering existing locations, and
staging scenes," Klein says of her work, which still bears evidence of its
roots in architecture school, which is where Klein first began sneaking off to
the darkroom. That's true across her range of work, from self-portraits to
Dior commissions to—on one memorable occasion—snapshots from
"spending the day in a motel room with sex robots," which she did at New
York magazine's behest. "That's definitely been one of my most unique and
memorable photographic experiences."
 Noma Osula

Age: 26.
Instagram: @noma.o
Location: Born and raised in Nigeria; based in Lagos.

Nigeria has always been at the center of Noma Osula's work, which he defines as
"a union of African photography, classical and contemporary." But while his use
of vibrant colors and contrast are part of what makes his fashion photography
and commercial work so appealing to the likes of the designer Jonathan
Anderson (who spotlighted Osula's photos in a J.W. Anderson exhibition
celebrating up-and-coming talent in London last year), they're also in
defiance of what Osula sees as "this projection of Africa as a completely dark
and primitive continent."
