Biography: Paul Strand took up photography in New York city during the 1910’s. Not long after, he had established a reputation of both a photographer and a painter. He traveled to New Mexico in 1926, and later returned there in the summers to make portraits of his friends and acquaintances there. Strand then traveled to Mexico to photograph the landscapes, architecture, and native culture of the county and also produced a film about fisherman for the Mexican government in 1834. He also collaborated with Charles Sheeler on the film, “Manhatta” about urban life. By 1934, Strand had returned to New York and began working in theater and filmmaking. He returned to still-imagery in 1943, taking pictures of the New England environment and inhabitants. He moved to Europe in the early 1950’s where he spent time in Northern Italy and Scotland. In the 1960’s, Strand traveled across North and West Africa.
