David Katzenstein: Brownie

Autor David Katzenstein Introducere de Richard Grosbard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 oct 2025
A collection of photographs created by David Katzenstein using the Duaflex camera, a successor to Kodak’s famous Brownie camera. 

Brownie is a collection of photographs created by photographer David Katzenstein over ten years, from 1979-1989. With this series, Katzenstein pays homage to the original line of Brownie cameras that began in 1900. For the series, he used the successor to the famous Kodak Brownie, the Kodak Dualflex, which was first introduced in 1947. The result is a colorful, personal, and sensitive view of the world.

Described by one critic as “Hot, Lush and Specific,” the series begins in New York City, eventually traveling the globe to explore both distant places and the use of the Kodak Duaflex camera. Throughout the project, Katzenstein’s goal was to embrace the camera’s limitations as a means of pushing the boundaries of composition, juxtaposing foreground and background while heightening the use of color.

Notă biografică

Während seiner langen Künstlerkarriere bereiste der in New York lebende Fotograf David Katzenstein die Welt als bildlicher Chronist der Menschheit. Er nutzt Motiv, Licht und Komposition, um eine visuelle Dynamik entstehen zu lassen, und lädt die Betrachtenden ein, den Augenblick mit ihm zu teilen. Katzenstein ist der leitende Herausgeber des Barkley L. Hendricks Photography Archive. Bislang hat er drei Monografien publiziert: Ritual (2022), Distant Journeys (2024) und Brownie (2025).

Recenzii

"Brownie is an extraordinary book, not for what it says about place and not for what it says about technique. It is extraordinary because it brings back to life an interpretive aesthetic milieu."

"Katzenstein's approach was defined as much by patience as by spontaneity. He preferred to photograph after sunrise or before sunset, when the light softened edges and deepened tones. The square frame didn't impose humor but occasionally revealed it...""

“The photographs… are unconventionally framed and often out of focus in provocative ways. Nonetheless they create an extraordinarily rich and vivid picture of the world and, in the process, challenge our notions of what photography can be.”

“Resembling a pilgrimage, his camera work is almost a spiritual experience. Readers witness Katzenstein’s experience through his own eyes. A provocative, out-of-focus set of images characterizes his style throughout the book. The artist challenges clarity, masterfully proving it is not the only way to take pictures.”

"Brownie is a bible of analogue, not just because it was shot on film, additionally because curiosity triumphs over control and intuition over perfection. Katzenstein is an example that great photography ultimately is less about the camera than the person looking through it.”
